Lycopene foods (includes apricots, red peppers and sweet gourd) The chemical lypcopene is a non-synthetic coloring compound and one of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. It is accountable for the red hue of many fruit and vegetables. Fortunately, unlike numerous other vitamins, this useful phytochemical not only survives being cooked, but is in actuality made more effective by cooking. . Lycoprene's most interesting theraputic value is that it acts as an antioxidant and is believed to be of use in the battle to reduce the chances of contracting cancer. This useful phytochemical is the most potent fighter of singlet oxygen, which is linked with aging of the skin. It is also thought by nutritionalists to hamper the progression of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. Foods rich in flavonoids (inlcudes garlic, spinach, adzuki bean & chamomile) The nutrients known as flavonoids present in these foods are thought to have properties as cancer fighters. Nutritionalists researching the effects of flavonoids suspect that they might also have many other benefits to our health, amongst them, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory powers. The majority of these are also low in calories, so should be included in your weight loss regime.
