Food Tips of the Week
Diet tipsAt the start of a diet, people most certainly look at food store and big brand food items labelled 'low in fat'. To do this is far too often a miscalculation, in that an item could be significantly reduced in fats, but nevertheless elavated in calories and carbs.
The case against low carb diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe for you?
Remember, one fact that is usually overlooked, it is extremely hard (although certainly not impossible) for vegetarians to take up a reduced carbohydrate diet.
The majority of the unpleasant side-effects stated, such as general tiredness, stomach disorders, or bad headaches are only temporary, but critics contend that low carb diets are not without permanently harmful side effects.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, leeks and welsh onion)
The onion and garlic family of foods 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 precious little hard medical proof obtainable, allyl sulphides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce the symptoms of colds, arteriosclerosis and fatigue.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so should be included in your diet system.
