Lycopene superfoods
(includes melon, papaya & tomatoes)

The chemical lypcopene is a simple coloring compound and part of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is behind the dark red hue of quite a few types of food.

Fortunately, unlike numerous other vitamins, it does not become less effective if cooked but is observably strengthened by going through the cooking process.

. Lycoprene's most important medical value is that it behaves as an antioxidant and seems to be of use in the fight to reduce the risks of contracting cancer.

Lycopene is the most efficacious carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is linked with aging of the skin. It is also believed to hamper the growth 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
