Food Tips of the Week
Losing weight
Drink more water. At times during a hectic day, you guess you are peckish but in truth you might only want a restorative glass of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of needing food and needing a drink are close, but one can result in a fat tummy and the alternative is ok.
The argument against reduced carbohydrate diets
Its popular as hell, but it is really safe for you?
Many scientific studies over the last few years have shown that eating too much animal fat causes increased chance of cancer, heart problems and other serious illnesses.
Most of the negative side effects observed, like tiredness, stomach disorders, or bad headaches seem to pass quickly, but critics contend that low carb diets are not without serious long term side effects.
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.
