Superfoods containing lycopene (includes water melon, red bell peppers & baby jackfruit) Lycopene is a natural coloring agent and one of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. This chemical is behind the vivid red colour of many natural foods. Usefully, unlike most other nutritional compounds, it is not damaged if it is cooked, instead it is genuinely strengthened by being cooked. . Its most interesting nutritional contribution is that it behaves as an antioxidant and is believed to help to lower the risks of cancer. This useful phytochemical is the most powerful carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is connected with skin aging. It is also thought to hamper the development of atherosclerosis. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet system initially invented by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a weight loss diet, nevertheless many followers believe that they manage to lose body weight by following it. The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you can limit the levels of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts the body in a state of balance that is an awful lot more healthy than normal, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears holds the theory that when in the 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, as a result, does not need to build up stores of fat. The most interesting technique of the zone diet is to control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take large amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
