Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weight
Make sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
The case against reduced carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Eliminating carbs may mean missing out on required nutrients from healthy carbohydrate foods which must be part of any well adjusted diet, particularly those provied by vegetables, fruits and grains.
Eating more animal-based products may lead into increased consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which many authorities believe will increase the risk of coronary problems.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, leeks and welsh onion)
The onion and garlic family of foods is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is precious little hard medical proof obtainable, allyl sulphides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce the symptoms of colds, arteriosclerosis and fatigue.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so should be included in your diet system.
