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 carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Remember, one point that is often overlooked, it is very hard (although by no means impossible) for vegetarians to follow a low carb diet.
Reducing carbs might mean missing out on vital nutrients from healthy carbohydrate foods which should be part of any well-balanced diet, especially those that we get from grains, vegetables and fruits.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes eschalot, chives and green onion)
The onion family of vegetables is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is very little scientific evidence at hand, allyl sulfides are also thought by many researchers to reduce the symptoms of colds, sterilization and diabetes.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so you should add them to your weight loss regime.
