Foods rich in flavonoids
(inlcudes citrus fruits, cabbage, soya & chamomile)

The nutrients called 'flavonoids' which exist in these fruits and vegetables are believed to be good as cancer fighters.
Nutritionalists who have been studying the nutritional effects of flavonoids believe they also have most other benefits to our wellbeing, including, but not limited to, anti-dermatitis and anti-inflammatory powers.
The majority of these also have a low calorie count, so should be included in your diet.



Lycopene rich foods
(includes watermelon, papaya and tomatoes)

The phytochemical lycopene is a natural coloring compound and member of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. This chemical is the reason for the dark red hue of some types of food.

Usefully, unlike most other vitamins, this useful phytochemical is not damaged during the cooking process, but is genuinely improved by cooking.

. Lycoprene's most interesting theraputic value is that it serves as an antioxidant and seems to help to lower the probabilty of developing cancer.

Lycopene is the most efficacious carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is connected with aging of the skin. It is also thought by nutritionalists to hamper the development of atherosclerosis.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"


"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
