Super foods containing lycopene (includes melon, red bell peppers and sweet gourd) The nutrient lypcopene is a naturally occurring compound used to color foods and one of the carotenid family. It is responsible for the dark red color of many natural foods. Intrestingly, unlike many healthy agents, it does not become less effective if cooked but is essentially increased in efficacy by being heated. . Lycoprene's most interesting benefit is that it works as an antioxidant and seems to be of use in the battle to reduce the chances of developing cancer. This useful phytochemical is the most efficacious fighter of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with aging of the skin. It's also believed to impede the growth of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index weight loss regime is reliant on the glycaemic index, a list of foods and an indicator of the ease that the glucose in the food type gets converted to sugar in the dieters system. The theory is that slow acting food types (ie those with a low Gi score), suppress your appetite and help you to consume less food without starving yourself. It is also extremely good for folk with diabetes, as the low GI foods are beneficial in preventing rises in blood sugar levels. |
