Lycopene rich foods (includes apricot, papaya & tomatoes) The nutrient lypcopene is a non-synthetic pigment and part of the carotenid family. It is responsible for the dark red color of quite a few foods. Usefully, unlike many other vitamins, lycopene is not damaged if it is cooked, but is truly improved by going through the cooking process. . Its main medical value is that it works as an antioxidant and appears to be of use in the battle to reduce the chances of contracting cancer. Lycopene is the strongest carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is connected with skin aging. It is also thought by many researchers to slow down the development of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a weight loss regime first devised by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a fat reduction diet, but many people find that they reduce body weight by following it. The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can control the amount of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts the body in a balanced state which is much, much more healthful than it normally is, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its best and, as a result, does not build up layers of fat. The most important procedure of the zone diet is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has plenty of Omega 3 fish oils. |
