Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes eschalot, chives and green onion) The onion and garlic family of foods is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe may be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is too little scientific evidence at hand, allyl sulphides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce the symptoms of blood circulation, high blood pressure and diabetes. Foods containing allyl sulfides are low in calories, so should be a part of every diet system. Flavonoid foods (inlcudes citrus fruits, fennel, garden pea and basil) The nutrients called 'flavonoids' which exist in these natural foods are believed to be helpful as anti-carcinogens. Experts investigating the properties of flavonoids think that they also have numerous other healthy properties, including anti-viral and antitumor capabilities. Many are also low in calories, so you should add them to your diet system. 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 isn’t expressly a fat reduction diet, but many zone diet fans discover that they really lose body weight when following it. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if you manage to limit the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts your body in a state of equilibrium which is much more healthy than it normally is, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears believes that when your body is in this 'zone' it is perfectly balanced and, as a result, doesn't build up layers of fat. The key procedure of the zone diet is to control the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take increased levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
