All carbohydrates are not equal. Some carbohydrates
support a strong, healthy, slender, energetic body (we'll call these "good
carbohydrates"), while other carbohydrates actually increase your overall risk of
coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes and many other degenerative diseases (theseare
"bad carbohydrates").Bad carbohydrates are high on the glycemic
scale.
The term "glycemic" refers to the amount
and speed a food will raise your blood sugar and insulin levels. A high glycemic
carbohydrate raises blood sugar levels quickly. This is typically not preferred, except
when stored glycogen level;s are already depleted. are mainly found
in: Pastries, Candies, Sodas, Fruit Drinks White bread, White rice, and other low fiber
processed foods.
The sugars from simple carbohydrate foods
are rapidly absorbed into your blood stream, causing blood sugar problems. A diet high
in simple carbohydrates has been shown to interfere with weight loss and contribute to
weight gain, diabetes and coronary artery
disease.
Whole grains, beans, fruits,
vegetables, and other naturally intact healthy carbohydrates do just the opposite. A
diet of good carbohydrates has been proven to promote excellent
health.
