Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes eschalot, onions and spring onions) The alliaceae family of vegetables is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Even though there is insufficient definitive proof present, allyl sulfides are also thought to reduce the symptoms of antiinflammatory effect, sterilization and insomnia. Foods containing allyl sulfides are low in calories, so should be included in every weight loss program. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss regime is based on the gi index, a list of types of food and a score illustrating the ease that the glucose in the food type gets converted to glucose in your system. The claim is that long-acting types of food (ie those foods with a low Gi score), suppress your appetite and help to injest less food without feeling you are always hungry. It's also very useful for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI food types are useful in minimizing increases in glucose secretion. |
