The South Beach Diet
The South Beach diet is a diet system created by Miami, florida-area cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses that dieters should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston developed the south beach diet for people who have heart disease, as a result of his detailed study of scientific data on other weight loss systems. "good" foods include, canadian bacon, chicken breast, clams, cottage cheese, almonds, lowfat yoghurt and some vegatables, such as kidney beans, broccoli and sprouts. Lycopene super foods (includes grapefruit, papaya & rosehip) The chemical lypcopene is a natural compound used to color foods and member of the carotenid family. Lycopene is accountable for the red colour of many natural foods. Usefully, unlike numerous other vitamins, it does not become less effective if cooked but is really made more effective by being heated. . Lycoprene's key health contribution is that it works as an antioxidant and is believed to be an asset in the fight to lower the risks of contracting cancer. This useful phytochemical is the most potent fighter of singlet oxygen, which is associated with aging of the skin. It is also thought to hamper the growth of atherosclerosis. |
