Lycopene super foods (includes guava, red bell peppers & cochinchin gourd) The phytochemical lycopene is a naturally occurring pigment and a member of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is accountable for the dark red colour of a good number of fruit and vegetables. Unlike numerous other healthy agents, it is not damaged if it is cooked, instead it is really strengthened by being cooked. . Its key nutritional contribution is that it works as an antioxidant and is believed to help reduce the risks of developing cancer. Lycopene is the strongest fighter of singlet oxygen, which is connected with skin aging. It is also believed to impede the development of atherosclerosis. Foods high in flavonoids (inlcudes onion, kale, kidney bean and coriander) The nutrients known as flavonoids found in these fruits and vegetables are believed to be helpful in helping to prevent cancer. Doctors studying the properties of flavonoids think that they may well also have most other health giving capabilities, amongst them, anti-dermatitis and antitumor capabilities. Many also help you lose weight, so should be included in every weight loss program. The Atkins’ Diet Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Popular with many famous celebrities, it enables fat reduction whilst still eating many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, like fatty meat and eggs. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate, high protein, weight loss program. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including, but not limited to, cereals and pasta made from white flour. With this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. |
