Flavonoid rich foods (inlcudes cranberry, kohlrabi, soy & chamomile) The flavonoids found in these types of food are thought by nutritionalists to have properties in preventing cancer. Medical experts looking into the properties of flavonoids believe they could also have most other health giving properties, including anti-asthma and antitumor activities.. Many also have a low calorie count, so you should add them to your diet system. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a weight loss program first advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t distinctly a fat reduction diet, although many people discover that they really manage to lose a few pounds by following this system. The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you can control the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts your body in a balanced state which is an awful lot more healthful than it normally is, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears holds the theory that when in the 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, because of this, does not build up layers of fat. The main process of the system is to monitor and control the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has high levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
