Superfoods rich in flavonoids (inlcudes dark chocolate, fennel, yams and cayenne) The nutrients known as flavonoids which are present in these foods are believed to be good in preventing cancer. Medical experts researching the nutritional effects of flavonoids suspect that they may also have most other health benefits, including anti-asthma and anti-platelet powers. The majority of these also help you lose weight, so should be a part of every weight loss regime. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) diet system is linked to the glycaemic index, a list of food types and a score representing the rapidity with which the carbs of the food gets converted to glucose in your system. The theory is that long-acting foods (ie with a low Gi number), keep you satiated for longer and mean that you can consume less food without feeling you are always hungry. It's also very good for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI food types are beneficial in reducing increases in blood sugar secretion. |
