Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, onions and welsh onion)

The onion and garlic family of foods is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe may be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is little hard medical proof at hand, allyl sulfides are also believed to help with colds, sterilization and diabetes.

Foods containing allyl sulfides are low in calories, so are ideal for including in your weight loss regime.



Lycopene foods
(includes watermelon, papaya and cochinchin gourd)

The chemical lypcopene is a naturally occurring compound and part of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. This chemical is the agent responsible for the red color of some types of food.

Intrestingly, unlike numerous vitamins, lycopene does not degrade if cooked, but is really increased in efficacy by cooking.

. Its most valuable medical value is that it serves as an antioxidant and is believed to help lower the probabilty of cancer.

It is the most powerful quencher of singlet oxygen, which is associated with skin aging. It's also thought by nutritionalists to impede the growth of atherosclerosis.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"


"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
