Lycopene is accountable for the vivid red hue of some foods. Fortunately, unlike many nutritional compounds, this useful phytochemical does not degrade if cooked, rather it is in fact made more effective by going through the cooking process. . Its most interesting advantage is that it works as an antioxidant and is believed to help to reduce the risks of cancer.

The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet first created by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet is not distinctly a weight loss diet, although many zone diet fans discover that they really reduce body weight by following it. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if one can limit the levels of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a consequence puts your body in a state of equilibrium which is an awful lot more wholesome than it normally is, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears holds the theory that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its best and, as a result, does not build up fat. The main process of the zone diet is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
