Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, leeks and green onion) The onion family of foods is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is little scientific proof obtainable, allyl sulphides are also thought by many researchers to help with antiinflammatory effect, high blood pressure and diabetes. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so you should add them to your diet system. Healthy foods with carotenes (includes parsley, mangos and winter squash) These fruit and veg are rich in carotenes (alpha and beta) thought by many play a key part in minimising the risk of cancer, spefically cancer of the lungs and stomach. The majority of these are also low in calories, so make sure you add them to your weight loss regime. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a weight loss program primarily invented by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t expressly a weight reduction diet, but many people believe that they seem to lose weight by following the zone diet. The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you limit the levels of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts one's body in a balanced state that is more wholesome than other diets, which is known as the zone. Sears claims that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its best and, as a result, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The most valuable technique of the zone system is to keep tight control over the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
