Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightIn deciding on a meal plan, it is important to attempt to moderate your consumption of fats, refined carbohydrate and salt.
The case against reduced carb diets
Its all the rage, but it is really safe for you?
Whilst there is anecdotal evidence that suggests that reduced carb diets can help achieve weight loss, some of this considerable evidence has resulted in much debate between nutritionalists, and their safety has been challenged
Eating more animal-based products may lead into high consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which many authorities believe will increase the chance of heart conditions.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes eschalot, onions and welsh onion)
The onion and garlic family of vegetables is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is not enough, definitive proof present, allyl sulphides are also thought by many experts to reduce symptoms with colds, sterilization and insomnia.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so should be a part of every diet system.
