Food Tips of the Week
Dieting tips
In deciding on a meal plan, it is essential to also make sure you cut down your ingestion of refined carbohydrate, fat and salt.
The case against reduced carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Most of the negative side effects observed, such as persistent tiredness, stomach upsets, or bad headaches seem to be just temporary, but critics contend that low carb diets are not without serious long term side effects.
Reducing carbs may mean missing out on necessary nutrients from healthy carbohydrate foods which should be part of any sensible diet, particularly those that we get from grains, vegetables and fruits.
Carotenoid foods
(includes parsley, rose hip puree and sweet potatoes)
These orange and green foods are rich in alpha-carotene and beta-carotene thought by doctors to play a role in helping stop cancer, particularly cancers of the stomach and lesophagus. Most are low in calories, so should be included in every weight loss regime.
