Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, leeks and spring onions) The onion, leek and garlic range of vegetables is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is not much definitive proof available, allyl sulphides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce symptoms with antiinflammatory effect, arteriosclerosis and diabetes. Foods containing allyl sulfides also help you lose weight, so make sure you add them to your weight loss program. Superfoods containing flavonoids (inlcudes dark chocolate, kale, yams and basil) The nutrients called 'flavonoids' discovered in these fruit and vegetables are believed to be helpful as cancer fighters. Doctors who have been studying the effects of flavonoids believe they may well also have most other benefits to our health, including, but not limited to, anti-viral and antioxidant powers. Most are also low in calories, so should be a part of every diet system. The Atkins’ Diet Although it originated back in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Although highly controversial, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, for example pork and hard cheese. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is referred to as a low carb/high protein, weight loss regime. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including, but not limited to, cereals and pasta made from white flour. With this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. |
