The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system first devised by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t expressly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless some people discover that they lose weight by following the zone diet. The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can limit the secretion of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a result puts one's body in a state of balance that is a lot more wholesome than it normally is, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears states that a body that is in 'the zone' is much more efficient and, as a consequence, does not need to convert surplus energy to fat. The most interesting method of the zone system is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take large amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6. Foods containing lycopene (includes watermelon, red bell peppers and cochinchin gourd) The phytochemical lycopene is a natural coloring compound and member of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is the reason for the deep red hue of some natural foods. Unlike many other healthy agents, it is not damaged if it is cooked, rather it is noticeably improved by the cooking process. . Lycoprene's main medical value is that it works as an antioxidant and seems to be an asset in the fight to lower the risk of cancer. Lycopene is the most powerful remover of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with aging of the skin. It is also thought to slow down the growth of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. |
