Super foods containing lycopene (includes apricots, red bell peppers & rosehip) The nutrient lypcopene is a non-synthetic compound and member of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. It is the reason for the deep red color of many types of food. Intrestingly, unlike many other vitamins, lycopene is not damaged if it is cooked, rather it is noticeably made more effective by being heated. . Its most interesting advantage is that it acts as an antioxidant and seems to help lower the chances of cancer.

The Zone diet is not specifically a fat reduction diet, although many people believe that they really seem to lose weight by following it. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if one can limit the secretion of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts the body in a balanced state which is an awful lot more wholesome than other diets, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears holds the theory that a body that is in 'the zone' is much more efficient and, because of this, does not convert energy to unsightly fat. The main technique of the diet is to monitor and control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has plenty of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
