Food Tips of the Week
Losing weight
In deciding on a meal plan, it is important to attempt to moderate your consumption of fats, refined carbohydrate and salt.
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.
Foods rich in flavonoids
(inlcudes citrus fruits, cabbage, scarlet runner bean and basil)
The nutrients called 'flavonoids' discovered in these fruit, vegetables and pulses are thought to have properties in preventing cancer.
Doctors researching the properties of flavonoids believe they also have most other health benefits, amongst them, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory capabilities.
The majority of these are also good for weight loss, so should be included in your diet system.
