Flavonoid rich foods (inlcudes olive oil, fennel, soya & peppermint) The compounds known as flavonoids which are present in these fruit and vegetables are believed to be helpful as anti-carcinogens. Specialists looking into the effects of flavonoids think that they also have many other healthy benefits, including, but not limited to, anti-dermatitis and anti-inflammatory properties. Many are also low in calories, so make sure you add them to your weight loss program. Foods rich in lycopene (includes apricots, red bell peppers and sweet gourd) Lycopene is a simple coloring agent and a member of the carotenid family. It is responsible for the dark red color of some fruits and vegetables. Unlike many vitamins, lycopene does not degrade if cooked, rather it is truly improved by going through the cooking process. . Its most important health contribution is that it is an antioxidant and appears to be an asset in the battle to lower the risk of contracting cancer. Lycopene is the most powerful carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with aging of the skin. It's also thought by nutritionalists to curtail the development of atherosclerosis. |
