The Glycaemic Index Diet

The believe is that long-acting food types (ie those food types with a low Gi score), suppress your appetite and help to take in fewer food without feeling you are missing out. It is also extremely beneficial for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI food types are beneficial in controlling surges in glucose amount. Foods containing lycopene (includes apricot, red peppers & cochinchin gourd) The phytochemical lycopene is a naturally occurring compound and member of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is the reason for the vivid red colour of some fruits and vegetables. Unlike most other vitamins, it does not become less effective if heated during cooking, but is genuinely made more effective by being cooked. . Its most interesting theraputic value is that it serves as an antioxidant and is thought to help to lower the probabilty of cancer. Lycopene is the most powerful quencher of singlet oxygen, which is connected with aging of the skin. It is also thought by nutritionalists to slow down the development of atherosclerosis. |
