Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easyOne useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
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 containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, leeks and welsh onion)
The onion and garlic range of vegetables is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is little definitive proof obtainable, allyl sulfides are also thought by many researchers to reduce symptoms with blood circulation, sterilization and diabetes.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so should be included in your diet system.
