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.
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
Cruciferous vegetables, Superfoods that help with Dieting
(includes Broccoli, Celery, Collard greens and Rutabaga)
These cruciferous vegetables are jam-packed with vitamins (folate and vitamin c, for example), minerals (eg. potassium), fibre, chlorophyll and antioxidents.
Over and above their most other great health properties, the vitamins and nutrients in these are believed by scientists to reduce the risk of cancer.
