The problems associated with reduced carbohydrate diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Cutting out carbohydrates might mean missing out on vital nutrients from healthy carbohydrate foods which must be part of any well-balanced diet, especially those that we get from grains, vegetables and fruits.
Eating more animal-based products could lead into elevated consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which a few authorities believe will increase the risk of heart problems.
Foods rich in lycopene
(includes guava, red bell peppers & tomato puree)
The phytochemical lycopene is a non-synthetic coloring agent and one of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. It is the reason for the red hue of many food types.
Intrestingly, unlike numerous healthy agents, this useful phytochemical is not damaged if it is cooked, rather it is actually improved by being heated.
. Lycoprene's most interesting advantage is that it works as an antioxidant and seems to be of use in the battle to lower the risk of cancer.
Lycopene is the strongest quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with skin aging. It is also thought by many experts to block the progression of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.
