The Glycaemic Index Diet
The glycaemic index weight loss regime is reliant on the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing food types and a score illustrating the rapidity that the glucose and energy in the food type gets changed to glucose in the dieters system. The believe is that slow release foods (ie those food types with a low Gi score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and mean that you can injest less food without craving snacks all the time. It is also extremely effective for folk with diabetes, as the low GI food types are useful in managing rises in blood glucose secretion. Lycopene foods (includes guava, papaya and tomatoes) The chemical lypcopene is a naturally occurring coloring compound and one of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. Lycopene is behind the vivid red colour of many fruit and vegetables. Fortunately, unlike many vitamins, this useful phytochemical does not become less effective if subjected to heat, but is truly improved by being heated. . Lycoprene's most valuable health contribution is that it works as an antioxidant and appears to help lower the chances of cancer. Lycopene is the most potent quencher of singlet oxygen, which is linked with aging of the skin. It is also thought to curtail the development of atherosclerosis. |
