Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, chives and welsh onion) The alliaceae family is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is as yet, not enough scientific evidence obtainable, allyl sulphides are also thought by many researchers to reduce symptoms with colds, sterilization and insomnia. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so should be included in your diet. Foods rich in lycopene (includes water melon, red peppers and spiny bitter gourd) The nutrient lypcopene is a simple pigment and member of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. It is responsible for the deep red color of some fruits and vegetables. Unlike most other healthy agents, lycopene does not degrade if cooked, but is genuinely strengthened by cooking. . Lycoprene's most important nutritional contribution is that it works as an antioxidant and is thought to be an asset in the fight to reduce the probabilty of contracting cancer. This useful phytochemical is the most powerful quencher of singlet oxygen, which is connected with skin aging. It is also thought by many experts to prevent the development of atherosclerosis. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet initially suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books and publications. The Zone diet isn’t distinctly a weight loss diet, nevertheless many zone diet followers believe that they manage to lose body weight when following it. The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you can limit the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts the body in a state of equilibrium which is much, much more healthy than other diets, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears alleges that when in the 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, as a consequence, doesn't build up layers of fat. The main process of the diet is to control the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take high levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
