Food Tips of the Week
Losing weight
Drink more water. At times during a hectic day, you guess you are peckish but in truth you might only want a restorative glass of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of needing food and needing a drink are close, but one can result in a fat tummy and the alternative is ok.
The argument against reduced carbohydrate diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Although there is some evidence that indicates that low carbohydrate diets can help elimate surplus fat, some of this evidence has resulted in many arguments between nutrition experts, and their safety has been the cause of great debate
Eliminating carbs may mean missing out on required nutrients from healthy foods which must be part of any sensible diet, particularly those obtained from vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
Cruciferous vegetables, Tasty superfoods that aid Dieting
(includes Cauliflower, Cauliflower, Turnips and Radishes)
Altthough not always popular with children, these vegetables are full of vitamins (folate and vitamin c), minerals (eg. selenium), fibre, chlorophyll, antioxidents, indole-3-carbinol and isothiocyanates..
Over and above their numerous beneficial effects, the minerals and nutrients in these are believed by nutritionalists to significantly lower the risk of getting cancer.
