Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, onions and welsh onion) The alliaceae family of vegetables is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe may be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is not much scientific proof present, allyl sulfides are also believed to reduce the symptoms of antiinflammatory effect, arteriosclerosis and physical exhaustion. Foods containing allyl sulfides also help you lose weight, so should be included in your weight loss program. Foods containing carotenes (includes cilantro, mangos and tomato ketchup) These colorful fruits and vegetables are rich in alpha and beta carotenes believed by doctors to help in helping stop cancer, specifically those cancers involving the esophagus. Many are also low in calories, so are ideal for including in your diet. The Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Although not accepted by all scientists, it allows weight reduction whilst allowing you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, for example lamb and butter. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate/high protein, weight loss program. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, amongst them, cereals and pasta made from white flour. With this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. |
