Food Tips of the Week
A few tips on healthy eating
If you enjoy eating, but want to get in shape and improve your overall vitality, then, as most people know, you need to start a thoughtfully prepared well-balanced meal plan. In a perfect world, this needs to contain 5 standard portions of grains, fruit and vegetables daily and embrace the right proportion of food types.
Some lower carbohydrate diet tips:
* Make low carbohydrate bread crumbs for breadcrumb coated foods.
Although you can sometimes buy reduced carbohydrate bread crumbs, you can make them at home by using reduced carb bread. All you have to do is toast the low carb bread in the oven on a cookie sheet. When it is well browned, whizz it in the food processor or blender. To store, keep in a tupperware container.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes eschalot, chives and spring onions)
The onion and garlic family of foods is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe may be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is very little real proof published, allyl sulphides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce symptoms with blood circulation, sterilization and diabetes.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so should be included in your weight loss regime.
