Weight loss hints and tips
In planning a meal plan, the most important step is to make efforts to lower your intake of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
The problems associated with reduced carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe for you?
Reducing carbohydrates might mean missing out on required nutrients from 'good' carbohydrate foods which should be part of any well adjusted diet, specifically those obtained from vegetables, fruits and grains.
Increased consumption of animal-based products might lead into elevated consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which most authorities believe will increase the probability of coronary problems.
Lycopene superfoods
(includes watermelon, red bell peppers and rosehip)
The chemical lypcopene is a non-synthetic coloring agent and part of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. This chemical is the reason for the deep red color of many fruit, vegetables and pulses.
Intrestingly, unlike many other healthy agents, lycopene is not damaged during the cooking process, but is actually strengthened by going through the cooking process.
.
Lycoprene's key value is that it is an antioxidant and is believed to help to lower the probabilty of cancer.
This useful phytochemical is the most effective quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with aging of the skin. It is also thought by nutritionalists to slow down the development of atherosclerosis.
