The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index diet is linked to the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing foods and a score representing the rapidity that the carbs of the food type gets changed to sugar in the dieters body. The believe is that slow acting types of food (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic score), keep you feeling full longer and mean that you can take in less food without feeling you are always hungry. It is also beneficial for people with diabetes, as the low GI foods are helpful in managing rises in blood glucose secretion. Lycopene foods (includes watermelon, papaya & tomato) Lycopene is a naturally occurring compound and a member of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. It is accountable for the red color of some food types. Usefully, unlike many other healthy agents, it is not damaged if it is cooked, but is in fact strengthened by being heated. . Lycoprene's most valuable value is that it behaves as an antioxidant and appears to be of use in the fight to lower the probabilty of cancer. It is the strongest eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is associated with aging of the skin. It's also believed to block the development of atherosclerosis. |
