Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes eschalot, white onions and welsh onion) The onion and garlic family is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is insufficient scientific proof obtainable, allyl sulphides are also thought by many experts to aid in colds, arteriosclerosis and physical exhaustion. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so should be a part of every weight loss regime. Cruciferous vegetables, Wonderfoods that aid Your diet (eg. Cauliflower, Cabbage, Collard greens and Horseradish) Altthough not always popular with children, these are jam-packed with vitamins (eg.folate), minerals (including potassium and selenium), fibre, chlorophyll and antioxidents. Over and above their numerous other health and weight loss benefits, some of these nutrients are believed by scientists to significantly lower the risk of getting cancer. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a weight loss regime initially suggested by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a weight reduction diet, but some people discover that they actually manage to lose weight by following this system. The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if you can gain control of the secretion of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a result puts one's body in a state of balance which is far more healthful than it normally is, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, because of this, does not build up layers of fat. The most valuable process of the zone system is to control the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils. |
