Foods high in flavonoids (inlcudes lettuce, brussels sprouts, scarlet runner bean and tea) The compounds known as flavonoids which are present in these fruit, vegetables and pulses are thought by nutritionalists to have properties in helping to prevent cancer. Researchers looking into the properties of flavonoids suspect that they may well also have most other health giving capabilities, including, but not limited to, anti-viral and antioxidant properties. Many are also low in calories, so you should add them to your diet. Foods rich in lycopene (includes apricots, red bell peppers and sweet gourd) The phytochemical lycopene is a simple compound and part of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. It is responsible for the deep red colour of some fruit, vegetables and pulses. Unlike most other nutrients, this useful phytochemical does not become less effective if heated during cooking, but is actually enhanced by going through the cooking process. . Lycoprene's main value is that it acts as an antioxidant and appears to be of use in the fight to lower the risks of developing cancer. Lycopene is the most powerful remover of singlet oxygen, which is linked with aging of the skin. It's also thought by nutritionalists to hamper the growth of atherosclerosis. |
