Food Tips of the Week

Diet tips

At the start of a diet, people most certainly look at food store and big brand food items labelled 'low in fat'. To do this is far too often a miscalculation, in that an item could be significantly reduced in fats, but nevertheless elavated in calories and carbs.
The problems associated with reduced carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Eliminating carbs could mean missing out on essential nutrients from 'good' carbohydrate foods which must be part of any well-balanced diet, in particular those that we get from vegetables, fruits and grains.
Increased consumption of animal-based products could lead into increased consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which most authorities believe will increase the risk of coronary problems.
Lycopene rich foods
(includes grapefruit, red bell peppers and baby jackfruit)

Lycopene is a naturally occurring coloring agent and part of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is the agent responsible for the deep red colour of a good number of natural foods.

Usefully, unlike numerous vitamins, lycopene is not damaged during the cooking process, but is observably made more effective by going through the cooking process.

. Its most valuable advantage is that it serves as an antioxidant and appears to be of use in the battle to reduce the probabilty of contracting cancer.

This useful phytochemical is the most efficacious eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is connected with aging of the skin. It's also thought by many researchers to prevent the development of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.
