Lycopene superfoods (includes guava, red peppers and tomato puree) Lycopene is a simple coloring compound and member of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. This chemical is the agent responsible for the deep red hue of a good number of fruit, vegetables and pulses. Usefully, unlike most other healthy agents, it does not become less effective if heated during cooking, but is noticeably enhanced by being cooked. . Its most interesting medical value is that it serves as an antioxidant and seems to help lower the risks of cancer. It is the most efficacious remover of singlet oxygen, which is connected with aging of the skin. It is also believed to curtail the growth of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index weight loss program is reliant on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list showing types of food and a score illustrating the speed with which the energy in the food gets converted to sugar in the dieters bloodstream. The claim is that slow acting food types (ie those foods with a low Gi score), suppress your appetite and help to take in fewer food without being miserabl;e. It's also beneficial for diabetics, as the low GI types of food are useful in minimizing rises in glucose amount. |
