Food Tips of the Week
Diet hints and tipsIn deciding on a diet, it is essential to attempt to lower your consumption of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
The problems associated with reduced carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Eliminating carbs could mean missing out on essential nutrients from 'good' carbohydrate foods which must be part of any well-balanced diet, in particular those that we get from vegetables, fruits and grains.
Increased consumption of animal-based products could lead into increased consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which most authorities believe will increase the risk of coronary problems.
Superfoods rich in flavonoids
(inlcudes garlic, fennel, kidney bean & peppermint)
The nutrients known as flavonoids which exist in these natural foods are believed to have properties as anti-carcinogens.
Nutritionalists looking into the medical effects of flavonoids think they may well have most other health giving capabilities, including anti-dermatitis and antiplatelet properties.
The majority of these are also low in calories, so should be included in every diet.
