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 case against low carb diets
Its popular as hell, but it is really safe for you?
Remember, one fact that is often overlooked, it is very difficult (though by no means impossible) for vegetarians to adopt a low carb diet.
The majority of the negative side effects reported, like feeling tired, stomach upsets, or bad headaches seem to be only temporary, but critics contend that low carbohydrate diets are not without permanently harmful side effects.
Foods high in flavonoids
(inlcudes cranberry, asparagus, garden pea & coriander)
