Diet hints and tips

In deciding on a diet, it is essential to attempt to lower your consumption of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.

The case against low carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Scientific studies over the years have proved that high consumption of animal fat can lead to higher chance of cancer, heart disease and other serious conditions.
Although there is anecdotal evidence that illustrates that reduced carbohydrate diets can help elimate surplus fat, some of this considerable evidence has resulted in arguments between nutrition experts, and their relative safety has been brought into question

Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, leeks and spring onions)

The onion, leek and garlic family of foods is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is not much scientific proof at hand, allyl sulfides are also believed to aid in antiinflammatory effect, arteriosclerosis and physical exhaustion.

Foods containing allyl sulfides also have a low calorie count, so should be included in your weight loss program.
