The brassicas, Healthy super foods that aid Weight loss (eg. Arugula, Boiled potatoes, Turnips and Daikon) Known as cruciferous vegetables, these have large amounts of vitamins (eg.folate and vit c), minerals (eg. potassium), fibre, chlorophyll, antioxidents, isothiocyanates, and indole-3-carbinol. In addition to their numerous other great health giving properties, these contain isothiocyanates, which are thought by many to significantly lower the risk of getting cancer. Lycopene rich foods (includes guava, red bell peppers & cochinchin gourd) Lycopene is a simple chemical compound and one of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. It is the reason for the dark red colour of many types of food. Intrestingly, unlike numerous healthy agents, this useful phytochemical is not damaged if it is cooked, but is essentially enhanced by the cooking process. . Lycoprene's main benefit is that it serves as an antioxidant and is thought to be an asset in the fight to lower the risks of contracting cancer. Lycopene is the most potent carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with skin aging. It is also thought by many researchers to slow down the development of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a weight loss program primarily suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet is not expressly a weight reduction diet, however some people find that they really lose a few pounds by following this system. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to limit the amount of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids which puts one's body in a state of equilibrium which is a lot more wholesome than other diets, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears holds the theory that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, because of this, does not build up fat. The most interesting method of the zone diet is to maintain the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with plenty of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
