Foods high in flavonoids (inlcudes onion, cabbage, garden pea & peppermint) The nutrients called 'flavonoids' which exist in these natural foods show promise in fighting cancer.

Foods containing carotenes (includes cilantro, collard greens and tomato puree) These orange and green healthy superfoods contain carotenes (alpha and beta) believed by scientists to play a role in cancer prevention, specifically those cancers involving the stomach and lesophagus. A good number also have a low calorie count, so should be a part of every weight loss program. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet initially devised by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not exactly a fat reduction diet, however many zone diet followers claim that they really manage to lose weight by following it. The main scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can control the levels of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts your body in a state of balance which is much, much more healthy than usual, known as the 'zone'. Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its best and, as a result, does not build up fat. The main method of the zone system is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with plenty of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
