Foods rich in lycopene (includes guava, papaya and tomato sauce) Lycopene is a non-synthetic coloring agent and one of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. This chemical is accountable for the vivid red color of quite a few natural foods. Intrestingly, unlike most other nutrients, this useful phytochemical does not degrade if cooked, rather it is essentially improved by going through the cooking process. . Lycoprene's key medical value is that it is an antioxidant and is believed to be of use in the fight to lower the chances of cancer. Lycopene is the most powerful remover of singlet oxygen, which is connected with skin aging. It's also thought to hamper the progression of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. Flavonoid superfoods (inlcudes onion, broccoli, scarlet runner bean and peppermint) The large family of compounds known as flavonoids found in these types of food are thought by experts to have properties as anti-carcinogens. Experts investigating the nutritional effects of flavonoids believe they could have most other benefits to our wellbeing, including antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. Most are also good for weight loss, so are ideal for including in your weight loss regime. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a weight loss regime primarily suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t expressly a weight reduction diet, although many zone diet fans believe that they seem to lose body weight when following it. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if you control the secretion of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts your body in a balanced state which is more healthy than usual, which is known as the zone. Sears believes that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its best and, because of this, does not build up fat. The most interesting procedure of the system is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
