Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easyWhen deciding on a weight loss program, it is essential to try to restrict your intake of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
The case against low carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe for you?
Many scientific studies recently have proved that eating excess animal fats can result in increased probability of cancer, heart conditions and other serious illnesses.
Moreover, it has been proposed that the kidneys may be given too much work to do and that the resulting change in blood acidity levels can lead to bone loss, but some of the scientific studies testing the theory have found no evidence of kidney damage or loss of bone.
Carotenoid foods
(includes cilantro, turnip greens and winter squash)
These colorful healthy plants are rich in the carotenoids believed by nutritionalists be a key nutrient in minimizing the risk of cancer, particularly those cancers involving the lung, esophagus and stomach. Most are low in calories, so you should add them to your weight loss regime.
