Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes eschalot, white onions and welsh onion) The onion family of vegetables is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is as yet, not enough scientific proof published, allyl sulphides are also thought by many experts to reduce the symptoms of antiinflammatory effect, arteriosclerosis and fatigue. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so should be included in every diet. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss regime is based around the glycaemic index, a list showing types of food and a score illustrating the ease with which the glucose and energy of the food type gets changed to sugar in your blood stream. The claim is that slow acting foods (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic index score), will keep you feeling full for longer and mean that you can consume less food without feeling you are always hungry. It's also very beneficial for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are beneficial in reducing rises in glucose levels. |
