Food Tips of the Week
Losing weight
Recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. At times when going through a hectic day, you imagine you feel hunger but if truth be told you just need a restorative tumbler of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are quite alike, but one can result in weight gain and the alternative is fine.
The problems associated with low carb diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Elevated consumption of animal-based products might lead into increased consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which most authorities believe will increase the probability of heart conditions.
Scientific studies over the last few years have proved that eating too much animal fat can cause increased risk of cancer, heart disease and other major health problems.
Superfoods containing flavonoids
(inlcudes cranberry, kale, scarlet runner bean and basil)
The nutrients known as flavonoids which are present in these fruits and vegetables show promise as anti-carcinogens.
Doctors who have been studying the properties of flavonoids suspect that they may well also have many other health benefits, amongst them, anti-asthma and anti-platelet powers.
A good number are also good for weight loss, so should be included in your weight loss program.
