Superfoods containing carotenes (includes paprika, turnip greens and winter squash) These amazing superfoods are rich in alpha and beta carotenes believed by doctors play a key part in helping stop cancer, particularly cancers of the lungs and stomach. A good number are also low in calories, so should be included in every diet system. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet system initially suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books and publications. The Zone diet is not exactly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many zone diet fans believe that they actually lose body weight by following it. The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you can limit the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts your body in a balanced state which is more healthful than other diets, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a result, does not build up layers of fat. The most valuable technique of the diet is to keep tight control over the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take plenty of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
