The case against low carbohydrate diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
The majority of the undesirable side-effects stated, like tiredness, stomach upsets, or headaches are only temporary, but critics contend that low carb diets are not without permanently harmful side effects.
Even though there is some research that illustrates that low carb diets can help reduce weight, some of this anecdotal evidence has caused controversy among nutritionists, and their safety record has been brought into question
Dieting tips
In deciding on a meal plan, it is essential to also make sure you cut down your ingestion of refined carbohydrate, fat and salt.
Super foods containing lycopene
(includes apricots, red peppers & tomato)
Lycopene is a non-synthetic chemical compound and part of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. Lycopene is behind the deep red hue of quite a few foods.
Intrestingly, unlike many nutritional compounds, lycopene does not degrade if cooked, but is in fact increased in efficacy by being heated.
.
Lycoprene's key value is that it works as an antioxidant and seems to be an asset in the fight to reduce the chances of cancer.
It is the most potent eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is linked with skin aging. It's also thought to curtail the progression of atherosclerosis.
