Lycopene foods (includes watermelon, red bell peppers and baby jackfruit) Lycopene is a simple compound used to color foods and a member of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. It is the agent responsible for the red colour of a good number of fruit and vegetables. Unlike many other nutrients, it does not degrade if cooked, rather it is observably enhanced by cooking. . Lycoprene's most valuable value is that it acts as an antioxidant and appears to be an asset in the battle to reduce the risks of cancer. This useful phytochemical is the strongest eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with aging of the skin. It is also believed to hamper the progression of atherosclerosis. Flavonoid superfoods (inlcudes garlic, asparagus, soya beans and basil) The compounds known as flavonoids present in these fruits and vegetables are thought by experts to have properties in preventing cancer. Nutritionalists looking into the nutritional effects of flavonoids believe they could have numerous health benefits, including anti-viral and antitumor powers. A good number also help you lose weight, so should be included in your diet. |
