Diet and Green vegtables
It’s a common misconception that models drastically diet before they take to the catwalks to show the new designer collections each season. On the contrary, they eat more nourishing food than ever to keep up their energy levels. If you’ve ever experienced the back – stage scramble of changing an entire outfit and hair in just eight seconds, and doing this at least ten times in one show, or been photographed for six hours in the snowy Scottish highlands wearing nothing but a wispy chiffon evening dress, you’ll know it can’t be done on an empty stomach. What models do watch out for are foods that don’t work well together, that can cause bloating and discomfort when combined, or that deplete or cancel out their mutual vitamin and mineral benefits, minimizing energy levels. Here are some of them in the Diet and Green vegtables. CHEESE AND GREEN VEGETABLES Broccoli, courgettes (zucchini) and most green vegetables are rich sources calcium, and magnesium, but the calcium in cheese is difficult for the body to absorb. The high levels of fat and protein in the cheese can inhibit the uptake of the calcium in the vegetables. Go for vegetables convered in light cheese sauces, such as cauliflower cheese, and avoid combinations that contain equal amounts of vegetables and cheese, such as some pizzas. ALCOHOL AND SHEELFISH Oysters, in particular, are rich sources of zinc, important for immunity and hormone balance. But if you drink champagne with oysters, the health benefits are almost wiped out by the alcohol. Zinc can’t be absorbed if you’ve consumed alcohol. Other zinc foods include Brazil nuts, egg yolk, peanuts and oats. Eating these with spinach also prevents zinc absorption in the Diet and Green vegtables.
Nuts, seeds and raisins are rich sources of iron, which enables red blood cells to carry oxygen around the body. But don’t wash them down with fizzy drinks. These contain high levels of phosphates that bind to iron in the gut, preventing absorption.CEREAL AND COFFEE Seeds, nuts and whole grains are among ourbest sources of B vitamins, zinc, iron and folic acid. But tannins in tea and coffee brind tothese nutrients, so they can’t be absorbed when taken together. A strong cup of either, before breakfast, can reduce nutrient absorption by more than half. Whenever you can, wait at least 40 minutes after breakfast before you have your first cuppa. MEAT AND SOFT FRUIT Melons, mangoes, grapes and other soft fruits will ferment if you put them in a warm acidic environment, like the stomach. Meat dramatically raises stomach cidity, so if it’s eaten with in 30 minutes soft fruit then thefruit will beginto ferment, causing bloating and discomfort. It’s bettr to eat softfruit either 30 minutes before a meal or morethan two hours after in the Diet and Green vegtables.
