Food Tips of the Week
Dieting tipsIf you wish to become slim and boost your all round health, then, as any dietician will tell you, you really should eat a thoughtfully calculated sensible daily routine. At best, this should include five measures of grains and vegetables each day and also incorporate the right mix of important nutrients.
The problems associated with reduced carb diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe for you?
Eliminating carbohydrates might mean missing out on needed nutrients from 'good' carbohydrate foods which must be part of any sensible diet, especially those that we get from vegetables, grains and fruits.
Higher consumption of animal-based products could lead into increased consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which some authorities believe will increase the probability of heart conditions.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, leeks and welsh onion)
The onion and garlic range of vegetables is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is little definitive proof obtainable, allyl sulfides are also thought by many researchers to reduce symptoms with blood circulation, sterilization and diabetes.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so should be included in your diet system.
