Food Tips of the Week
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.
The argument against low carbohydrate diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Most of the unpleasant side-effects claimed, like general tiredness, bowel disorders, or bad headaches are only temporary, but critics contend that low carbohydrate diets are not without serious long term side effects.
Whilst there is considerable evidence that suggests that reduced carb diets may help with your diet, some of this anecdotal evidence has resulted in much debate between nutrition gurus, and their safety record has been the cause of great debate
Lycopene foods
(includes grapefruit, red peppers and spiny bitter gourd)
The nutrient lypcopene is a simple chemical compound and member of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. It is the reason for the red colour of some types of food.
Usefully, unlike numerous other healthy agents, lycopene does not become less effective if subjected to heat, but is genuinely strengthened by cooking.
.
Its most interesting medical value is that it acts as an antioxidant and appears to be an asset in the fight to lower the risk of developing cancer.
Lycopene is the most powerful eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is linked with aging of the skin. It is also believed to prevent the growth of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.
