Super foods containing lycopene (includes melon, papaya & tomato) Lycopene is a naturally occurring pigment and a member of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. This chemical is accountable for the red hue of quite a few fruits and vegetables. Intrestingly, unlike many other nutrients, this useful phytochemical not only survives being cooked, but is essentially strengthened by the cooking process. . Its key health contribution is that it acts as an antioxidant and is thought to be an asset in the battle to lower the risks of cancer. Lycopene is the most powerful remover of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with aging of the skin. It is also thought to hamper the growth of atherosclerosis. Brassicas, Wonder foods that aid Your diet (includes Arugula, Watercress, Turnips and Rutabaga) Vegetablesi in the brassica family are full of vitamins (eg.folate and vitamin c), minerals (eg. potassium and selenium), fibre, chlorophyll, antioxidents, isothiocyanates, and indole-3-carbinol. Amongst many health giving properties, the minerals, vitamins and nutrients in these are thought by experts to significantly lower the risk of getting cancer. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a weight loss regime first detailed by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many zone diet fans believe that they really seem to lose a few pounds by following it. The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if one can control the levels of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a result puts one's body in a state of balance that is a lot more wholesome than normal, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears claims that a body that is in 'the zone' is perfectly balanced and, as a result, doesn't build up layers of fat. The most valuable technique of the system is to monitor and control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased amounts of Omega 3 fish oils. |
