Lycopene super foods (includes water melon, red bell peppers and spiny bitter gourd) The chemical lypcopene is a naturally occurring coloring compound and member of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. It is behind the vivid red hue of many fruit and vegetables. Intrestingly, unlike numerous other healthy agents, this useful phytochemical does not degrade if cooked, rather it is genuinely made more effective by being cooked. . Lycoprene's main value is that it works as an antioxidant and seems to be of use in the fight to lower the risk of cancer. This useful phytochemical is the most potent quencher of singlet oxygen, which is associated with aging of the skin. It's also believed to impede the progression of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss regime is reliant on the glycaemic index, a chart showing foods and a score illustrating the speed with which the glucose and energy in the food type gets transformed to glucose in your bloodstream. The theory is that slow release foods (ie those food types with a low Gi number), keep you satiated for longer and help to take in fewer food without feeling you are missing out. It is also extremely effective for people with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are useful in minimizing rises in blood glucose levels. |
