Brassicas, Healthy super foods that help with Your diet
(eg. Kale, Boiled potatoes, Mizuna and Radishes)
Altthough not always popular with children, these are rich in vitamins (including vitamin c and folate), minerals (eg. selenium), isothiocyanates, antioxidents and indole-3-carbinol.

Amongst many other great health giving properties, the minerals and nutrients in these are thought to reduce the risk of cancer.



Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, leeks and spring onions)

The onion, leek and garlic family of foods is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is insufficient scientific proof available, allyl sulphides are also thought by many researchers to reduce problems with colds, arteriosclerosis and physical exhaustion.

Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so should be a part of every weight loss regime.

"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
