1. The importance of carbs

Carbohydrates, also known as carbohydrates, occupy an important position in our daily diet and are one of the three major energy nutrients for the human body. They not only provide energy for the body, but also participate in the composition and various activities of the body's cells, and play an important role in regulating blood sugar, saving protein and anti-ketone.

Of course, the source of carbohydrates is not a single steamed bread or rice, whole grains, beans, potatoes, and fruits are all carbohydrates. Therefore, the dietary fiber, pectin and other ingredients contained in it also play a key role in promoting intestinal health and maintaining blood sugar stability.

2. Quit the harm of carbohydrates

Although carbohydrate abstinence may lead to weight loss in the short term, long-term, excessive carbohydrate abstinence may cause a series of health problems for the body.

1. Unbalanced nutrition

Carbohydrates are one of the body's important sources of energy, and blind abstinence from carbohydrates may lead to nutritional imbalances. Long-term restriction of carbohydrate intake can lead to deficiencies in other important nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and fiber, which can increase the risk of disease. [1]

2. Diabetes management issues

Although carbohydrate abstinence can improve glycemic control in people with diabetes, excessive carbohydrate restriction may increase the risk of hypoglycemia, especially in patients taking insulin replacement therapy with insulin or other medications. [2]

3. Cognitive decline

Carbohydrates are the brain's main source of energy, and long-term carbohydrate deficiencies may lead to decreased cognitive function, difficulty concentrating, and mood swings. [3]

4. Intestinal problems

Dietary fiber mainly comes from carbohydrates, and long-term lack of carbohydrates may lead to problems such as constipation, indigestion, and intestinal flora imbalance. [4]

Tips for getting carbohydrates right

It's easy to gain weight if you eat too many carbohydrates, and it's not good for your body if you don't eat them, what should we do with it? Green Lean Nutrition Consultant teaches you how to consume carbohydrates properly.

1. Meals with cereals

Cereals are the basis of a balanced diet, and different types of cereals can be used as the main food for three meals, such as breakfast bread (preferably whole wheat), lunch rice (with whole grains), and dinner gnocchi soup or millet porridge. Even if you eat out, try to eat staple foods.

2. Diversification of species

In addition to cereals, potatoes and legumes can also be used as a supplement to staple foods. The carbohydrate content of potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, yams and other potatoes is about 25%, and the content of vitamin C and dietary fiber is higher than that of cereals. Red beans, kidney beans, mung beans, peas, chickpeas and other miscellaneous legumes contain 50% ~ 60% carbohydrates and about 20% protein.

In addition, the mixed beans have a high content of B vitamins and are rich in minerals such as calcium, iron, potassium, and magnesium.

3. Thick and thin matching

When cooking staple foods, rice can be eaten with brown rice, whole grains (oats, millet, buckwheat, corn, etc.) and mixed beans; Brown rice, two rice, eight-treasure porridge, tortillas, whole-wheat steamed buns, etc. are all good ways to achieve a thick and thin match.

4. Light and less oil and salt

When cooking staple foods, it is recommended to choose more steaming and less frying. When making fried rice, fried steamed bread slices, oil cakes, sweet eight-treasure porridge, and fried noodles, salt, oil, sugar, etc. will be added, which will virtually increase the intake of staple food energy and salt, and long-term consumption is not conducive to blood pressure, blood sugar and weight control.

Finally, Green Slim reminds everyone that weight loss needs to be treated scientifically, and do not blindly control your diet and refuse carbohydrate intake! According to their own physical condition, they should reasonably control their diet and exercise appropriately under the condition of ensuring balanced nutrition, and persist in order to achieve the final victory.
