The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system first devised by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not specifically a weight loss diet, however some people claim that they manage to lose weight by following it. The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if one can limit the amount of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a consequence puts the body in a balanced state which is a lot more healthful than other diets, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears states that a body that is in 'the zone' is much more efficient and, because of this, does not build up layers of fat. The main process of the system is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. Lycopene super foods (includes guava, red bell peppers & cochinchin gourd) The nutrient lypcopene is a natural pigment and one of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is the agent responsible for the vivid red hue of a good number of fruits and vegetables. Unlike most other vitamins, this useful phytochemical does not degrade if cooked, but is genuinely increased in efficacy by being heated. . Lycoprene's main nutritional contribution is that it behaves as an antioxidant and appears to be an asset in the fight to lower the risk of developing cancer. This useful phytochemical is the most potent quencher of singlet oxygen, which is connected with aging of the skin. It's also thought by many researchers to impede the development of atherosclerosis. |
