The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system initially created by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not particularly a fat reduction diet, but many zone diet fans claim that they actually lose a few pounds by following this system. The main scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you manage to control the amount of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a consequence puts one's body in a balanced state that is an awful lot more healthy than usual, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears believes that when in the 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, as a consequence, doesn't need to build up stores of fat. The main procedure of the diet is to maintain the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure you get high levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. Superfoods containing flavonoids (inlcudes olive oil, asparagus, soy and chamomile) The flavonoids which are present in these natural foods are believed to have properties as anti-carcinogens. Researchers researching the effects of flavonoids think that they may well also have many other benefits to our health, including, but not limited to, anti-asthma and anti-platelet properties. A good number also help you lose weight, so make sure you add them to your diet. |
