Superfoods containing lycopene (includes water melon, papaya & sweet gourd) The chemical lypcopene is a naturally occurring pigment and part of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. This chemical is the agent responsible for the red colour of a good number of types of food. Usefully, unlike many healthy agents, lycopene not only survives being cooked, but is genuinely strengthened by being heated. . Its key benefit is that it works as an antioxidant and is thought to be an asset in the battle to lower the probabilty of contracting cancer. It is the strongest carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with aging of the skin. It is also thought to prevent the growth of atherosclerosis. Foods containing carotenes (includes carrots, rose hip puree and winter squash) These vegetables and fruits are rich in carotenes (alpha and beta) believed by many be a key nutrient in minimizing the chances of contracting, specifically those cancers involving the lungs and stomach. Many also help you lose weight, so should be included in every weight loss regime. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system started by Miami-based cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented his dietary regime for his cardiac patients, as a result of his detailed study of scientific research completed on other nutritional studies. Good foods include, lean cuts of beef, chicken breast, oysters, fat-free cheeses, pistachio nuts, nonfat milk and certain vegetables, such as lentils, eggplant and snow peas. |
