Cruciferous vegetables, Healthy super foods that help with Weight loss (eg. Kohlrabi, Cauliflower, Mustard greens and Daikon) Members of the brassica family are rich in vitamins (folate and vitamin c), minerals (selenium and potassium, amongst others), isothiocyanates, antioxidents and indole-3-carbinol. Amongst numerous health benefits, the isothiocyanates in these are believed by doctors to help reduce the cancer risk. Flavonoid foods (inlcudes cranberry, brussels sprouts, lima bean and cayenne) The flavonoids which exist in these fruits and vegetables are believed to be good in fighting cancer. Experts who have been studying the effects of flavonoids suspect that they may well also have most other healthy benefits, including anti-viral and antitumor powers. Most are also good for weight loss, so are ideal for including in your diet system. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet system initially detailed by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a fat reduction diet, however some people find that they actually reduce weight when following it. The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you can control the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts one's body in a balanced state which is much more healthy than other diets, known as the 'zone'. Sears holds the theory that a body that is in 'the zone' is much more efficient and, as a result, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The main technique of the system is to maintain the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure you get plenty of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
