Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
Some low carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Food labels can be misleading
Be sceptical of advertizing that claims to be 'low carb' - check the nutritional information on the back of the can or package. Many are only marginally reduced and in some instances still greater than a competitors standard brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - often the carbs are exactly the same.
The brassica family, Healthy super foods that aid Dieting
(eg. Kale, Green beans, Mustard greens and Horseradish)
Vegetablesi in the brassica family are jam-packed with vitamins (eg.folate), minerals (selenium and potassium, amongst others), chlorophyll, fibre, indole-3-carbinol and isothiocyanates..
Amongst numerous other health giving properties, a few of these nutrients are believed to help reduce the cancer risk.
