Food Tips of the Week
Diet hints and tips
In deciding on a diet, it is essential to attempt to lower your consumption of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some low carb diet tips:
* Make reduced carbohydrate breadcrumbs for deep fried foods.
Whilst you can sometimes buy reduced carb bread crumbs, you may make them at home by using low carb bread. All you have to do is toast the reduced carbohydrate bread in the oven on a baking tray. Once it is well browned, whizz it in your blender. To store, keep in an airtight container.
* Use splenda instead of sugar.
Most recipes that require sugar can be adapted to make use of a sugar substitute like splenda. It is not exactly the same so you will need to do a bit of trial and error and it may not work for everything, but it does a decent job for the most part.
Flavonoid foods
(inlcudes citrus fruits, red apples, garden pea and peppermint)
The compounds known as flavonoids which are present in these foods are thought by experts to have properties in preventing cancer.
Researchers researching the properties of flavonoids suspect that they could also have many other health giving capabilities, amongst them, antiviral and antiplatelet activities..
The majority of these are also low in calories, so should be a part of every diet.
