Wonder foods with carotenes (includes paprika, rose hip puree and sweet potatoes) These orange and green fruits and vegetables are rich in alpha-carotene and beta-carotene believed by experts to help in preventing cancer, specifically of the the lungs. Many are also good for weight loss, so make sure you add them to your weight loss regime. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes eschalot, white onions and spring onions) The alliaceae family of foods is rich 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 present, allyl sulfides are also thought by many experts to reduce the symptoms of antiinflammatory effect, high blood pressure and fatigue. Foods containing allyl sulfides also help you lose weight, so make sure you add them to your weight loss regime. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a weight loss program initially suggested by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not distinctly a weight reduction diet, although many followers claim that they seem to lose a few pounds by following this system. The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can gain control of the levels of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a consequence puts your body in a state of equilibrium which is far more wholesome than it normally is, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears holds the theory that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is much more efficient and, because of this, doesn't build up fat. The most interesting technique of the system is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
