Low calorie diet
As most people know, a low calorie weight loss regime says that if you are going to achieve weight loss, then you have to take in less calories than you actually use. So what is a calorie? A calorie is a unit of measurement for energy. The food calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise one cubic centimeter of water by one degree centigrade. If a food contains more calories, then it will turn into more energy to use when it is converted. Examples of low calorie foods include lettuce, tomatoes, guava, lean ham, and low-fat cheese. Super foods containing lycopene (includes watermelon, papaya and baby jackfruit) The phytochemical lycopene is a simple coloring compound and a member of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. This chemical is the agent responsible for the vivid red color of a good number of natural foods. Intrestingly, unlike numerous vitamins, this useful phytochemical is not damaged if it is cooked, but is actually made more effective by going through the cooking process. . Its most valuable theraputic value is that it serves as an antioxidant and appears to be an asset in the fight to lower the probabilty of developing cancer. This useful phytochemical is the most effective eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is linked with skin aging. It is also believed to curtail the progression of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. |
