Food Tips of the Week
Losing weight
Recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. At times when going through a hectic day, you imagine you feel hunger but if truth be told you just need a restorative tumbler of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are quite alike, but one can result in weight gain and the alternative is fine.
The problems associated with reduced carb diets
Its all the rage, but it is really safe for you?
Many studies over recent years have proved that eating excess animal fats causes greater risk of cancer, coronary disease and other serious illnesses.
Although there is strong evidence that suggests that low carb diets may help with your weight loss program, some of this strong evidence has proved to be controversial among nutritionists, and their safety record has been challenged
Flavonoid foods
(inlcudes citrus fruits, brussels sprouts, scarlet runner bean and cayenne)
The flavonoids found in these natural foods are thought by nutritionalists to have properties in fighting cancer.
Nutritionalists researching the medical effects of flavonoids think they also have many other benefits to our health, amongst them, antiviral and antioxidant powers.
Most also have a low calorie count, so should be a part of every weight loss program.
