It's also extremely beneficial for folk with diabetes, as the low GI foods are useful in preventing rises in blood sugar amount.

Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes pickled shallots, onions and green onion) The onion and garlic family of vegetables is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is insufficient definitive proof available, allyl sulfides are also thought by nutritionalists to help with blood circulation, arteriosclerosis and physical exhaustion. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so should be included in every diet. |
