Diet hints and tips
In deciding on a diet, it is essential to attempt to lower your consumption of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
The problems associated with low carb diets
Its all the rage, but it is really safe for you?
Remember, one fact that is frequently overlooked, it is damned hard (though by no means impossible) for vegetarians to adopt a reduced carbohydrate diet.
Moreover, it has been hypothesised that the kidneys may become overworked and that the consequential change in blood acid levels causes the loss of bone, but some of the scientifc research testing the theory have struggled to find significant evidence of damaged kidneys or loss of bone.
Flavonoid rich foods
(inlcudes olive oil, spinach, adzuki bean & coriander)
The flavonoids which exist in these natural foods are thought by nutritionalists to have properties in preventing cancer.
Experts researching the medical effects of flavonoids believe they may well also have many health giving capabilities, including, but not limited to, anti-allergic and antiplatelet activities..
The majority of these are also low in calories, so are ideal for including in your diet.
