Foods rich in lycopene
(includes watermelon, papaya & tomato puree)

The phytochemical lycopene is a simple coloring compound and a member of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. This chemical is accountable for the dark red colour of quite a few food types.

Intrestingly, unlike numerous other nutritional compounds, it is not damaged if it is cooked, instead it is actually strengthened by being heated.

. Its key theraputic value is that it is an antioxidant and appears to be an asset in the fight to lower the chances of developing cancer.

This useful phytochemical is the most effective quencher of singlet oxygen, which is linked with skin aging. It's also thought by nutritionalists to curtail the development of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"


"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
