Foods containing lycopene (includes grapefruit, red bell peppers and tomato sauce) The phytochemical lycopene is a simple compound and member of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. This chemical is the reason for the red colour of many fruit, vegetables and pulses. Unlike numerous nutritional compounds, lycopene is not damaged during the cooking process, but is noticeably made more effective by the cooking process. . Lycoprene's most valuable medical value is that it acts as an antioxidant and is believed to help lower the risk of contracting cancer. Lycopene is the strongest quencher of singlet oxygen, which is associated with skin aging. It's also thought by many researchers to hamper the growth of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. Healthy foods with carotenes (includes carrots, mangos and sweet potatoes) These foods have high levels of alpha and beta carotenes believed by scientists be a key nutrient in preventing cancer, particularly those cancers involving the lungs. The majority of these also have a low calorie count, so should be included in your weight loss regime. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet initially advocated by Barry Sears in a series of books and publications. The Zone diet is not exactly a weight reduction diet, however many followers find that they actually reduce a few pounds by following it. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if you can limit the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts one's body in a state of balance that is a lot more healthful than it normally is, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears alleges that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its most efficient and, as a result, doesn't need to build up stores of fat. The most interesting technique of the diet is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with large amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
