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 case against reduced carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Remember, one point that is often overlooked, it is very hard (although by no means impossible) for vegetarians to follow a low carb diet.
Reducing carbs might mean missing out on vital nutrients from healthy carbohydrate foods which should be part of any well-balanced diet, especially those that we get from grains, vegetables and fruits.
Foods high in flavonoids
(inlcudes olive oil, broccoli, soy and tea)
The nutrients known as flavonoids discovered in these types of food are thought to have properties in preventing cancer.
Experts investigating the medical effects of flavonoids think they also have most other health benefits, including antiviral and antioxidant properties.
Most are also good for weight loss, so you should add them to your diet system.
