Lycopene superfoods (includes guava, red peppers and tomato sauce) Lycopene is a naturally occurring compound and a member of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. It is the agent responsible for the vivid red hue of some food types. Intrestingly, unlike many nutrients, it does not become less effective if subjected to heat, but is in fact made more effective by going through the cooking process. . Lycoprene's key health contribution is that it serves as an antioxidant and is believed to be an asset in the battle to lower the risk of contracting cancer. Lycopene is the strongest carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is linked with skin aging. It's also thought to prevent the development of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet plan invented by Miami-based cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes that one should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston invented this diet for people who have cardiac problems, as a result of his analysis of scientific studies on other nutritional studies. Approved foods include, broiled ham, chicken breast, oysters, low or fat free cheeses, pecan halves, lowfat milk and certain vegetables, like split peas, cauliflower and water chestnuts. |
