Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
When deciding on a weight loss program, it is essential to try to restrict your intake of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
The argument against low carbohydrate diets
Its extremely popular, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Moreover, it has been proposed that the kidneys can come under too much strain and that the related change in blood acidity levels can cause the loss of bone, but some of the studies trying to test the theory have struggled to find real evidence of damage to the kidneys or bone damage.
Reducing carbs might mean missing out on essential nutrients from healthy foods which must be part of any well adjusted diet, specifically those provied by vegetables, grains and fruits.
Foods containing lycopene
(includes apricots, red peppers & baby jackfruit)
Lycopene is a natural compound and one of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is behind the red color of quite a few fruits and vegetables.
Usefully, unlike numerous nutritional compounds, it does not become less effective if cooked but is observably increased in efficacy by the cooking process.
.
Lycoprene's main advantage is that it works as an antioxidant and is believed to be of use in the fight to lower the chances of developing cancer.
Lycopene is the strongest quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with skin aging. It is also thought to impede the progression of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.
