Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, leeks and spring onions) The onion, leek and garlic range of vegetables is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe may be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is as yet, not enough scientific proof present, allyl sulfides are also thought by many researchers to reduce the symptoms of antiinflammatory effect, high blood pressure and physical exhaustion. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so should be a part of every weight loss program. Lycopene rich foods (includes guava, red peppers and tomatoes) The phytochemical lycopene is a non-synthetic compound and member of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. This chemical is accountable for the red colour of some foods. Unlike numerous other nutritional compounds, it not only survives being cooked, but is really strengthened by going through the cooking process. . Its most valuable advantage is that it works as an antioxidant and seems to be of use in the fight to reduce the risks of developing cancer. This useful phytochemical is the strongest fighter of singlet oxygen, which is linked with aging of the skin. It is also thought by many researchers to block the growth of atherosclerosis. |
