Foods containing carotenes (includes carrots, mangos and tomato puree) These orange and green fruits and vegetables are rich in alpha-carotene and beta-carotene believed by nutritionalists play a key role in minimising the risk of cancer, particularly cancers of the esophagus and stomach. A good number are also low in calories, so make sure you add them to your diet. Super foods containing lycopene (includes guava, red bell peppers & spiny bitter gourd) Lycopene is a naturally occurring compound and one of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. This chemical is responsible for the vivid red hue of a good number of fruit and vegetables. Usefully, unlike many other nutrients, this useful phytochemical is not damaged if it is cooked, rather it is in actuality strengthened by cooking. . Lycoprene's most important nutritional contribution is that it is an antioxidant and is believed to be an asset in the fight to lower the risk of contracting cancer. Lycopene is the most powerful remover of singlet oxygen, which is linked with skin aging. It is also thought by many researchers to prevent the progression of atherosclerosis. |
