Superfoods containing carotenes (includes parsley, kale and tomato puree) These colorful foods have high levels of carotenes believed by doctors to play a major part in minimizing the risk of cancer, specifically those cancers involving the lung, esophagus and stomach. Many are low in calories, so should be a part of every weight loss regime. Lycopene superfoods (includes apricots, red bell peppers & tomatoes) The nutrient lypcopene is a simple compound used to color foods and part of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. This chemical is the agent responsible for the deep red colour of some foods. Unlike numerous healthy agents, this useful phytochemical is not damaged if it is cooked, instead it is actually made more effective by going through the cooking process. . Its main advantage is that it works as an antioxidant and appears to be of use in the fight to lower the risks of cancer. Lycopene is the strongest fighter of singlet oxygen, which is linked with skin aging. It's also thought by nutritionalists to curtail the growth of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index diet system is reliant on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list showing food types and a score illustrating the speed that the glucose and energy of the food gets transformed to glucose in the dieters body. The believe is that long-acting food types (ie those with a low Glycaemic score), will keep you feeling full for longer and mean that you can eat fewer food without starving yourself. It's also beneficial for people with diabetes, as the low GI foods are beneficial in minimizing surges in blood glucose amount. |
