Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
When 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 carb diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe for you?
Elevated consumption of animal-based products might lead into raised consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which most authorities believe will increase the probability of heart conditions.
Remember, one point that is frequently overlooked, it is extremely hard (though not technically impossible) for vegetarians to follow a reduced carb diet.
Lycopene foods
(includes grapefruit, red peppers and spiny bitter gourd)
The nutrient lypcopene is a simple chemical compound and member of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. It is the reason for the red colour of some types of food.
Usefully, unlike numerous other healthy agents, lycopene does not become less effective if subjected to heat, but is genuinely strengthened by cooking.
.
Its most interesting medical value is that it acts as an antioxidant and appears to be an asset in the fight to lower the risk of developing cancer.
Lycopene is the most powerful eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is linked with aging of the skin. It is also believed to prevent the growth of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.
