The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) diet system is linked to the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of types of food and a score representing the speed that the glucose in the food type gets changed to sugar in your body. The theory is that slow acting foods (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help to consume fewer food without craving snacks all the time. It is also extremeley useful for people with diabetes, as the low GI foods are useful in preventing increases in blood glucose levels. Lycopene foods (includes grapefruit, red peppers and cochinchin gourd) The chemical lypcopene is a natural chemical compound and member of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. This chemical is accountable for the deep red hue of a good number of foods. Fortunately, unlike many nutritional compounds, lycopene is not damaged if it is cooked, rather it is really made more effective by being heated. . Its main theraputic value is that it is an antioxidant and seems to be an asset in the battle to lower the probabilty of contracting cancer. It is the most efficacious carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with aging of the skin. It is also thought by many experts to block the development of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. |
