Food Tips of the Week
Diet tips
At the start of a diet, people most certainly look at food store and big brand food items labelled 'low in fat'. To do this is far too often a miscalculation, in that an item could be significantly reduced in fats, but nevertheless elavated in calories and carbs.
The case against low carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Eating more animal-based products could lead into increased consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which some authorities believe will increase the probability of heart disease.
Most of the negative side effects stated, such as feeling tired, constipation, diarrhea, or bad headaches seem to pass quickly, but critics contend that low carbohydrate diets are not without permanently harmful side effects.
Flavonoid superfoods
(inlcudes lettuce, brussels sprouts, yams & basil)
The flavonoids which exist in these fruits and vegetables are thought to have properties in fighting cancer.
Doctors investigating the nutritional effects of flavonoids think that they may well also have most other healthy benefits, including, but not limited to, anti-allergic and antioxidant properties.
The majority of these are also low in calories, so you should add them to your diet system.
