Foods containing carotenes (includes parsley, rose hip puree and winter squash) These orange and green healthy superfoods have high levels of carotenes (alpha and beta) thought by doctors play a key role in helping stop cancer, particularly those cancers involving the lungs. A good number are also low in calories, so are ideal for including in your diet. Superfoods containing lycopene (includes apricot, red bell peppers and cochinchin gourd) The chemical lypcopene is a simple coloring agent and part of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is the agent responsible for the deep red colour of a good number of food types. Fortunately, unlike many other nutrients, this useful phytochemical does not become less effective if cooked but is actually improved by the cooking process. . Lycoprene's most valuable benefit is that it serves as an antioxidant and seems to be an asset in the battle to lower the chances of contracting cancer. This useful phytochemical is the strongest remover of singlet oxygen, which is associated with aging of the skin. It is also thought to curtail the progression of atherosclerosis. |
