CARBOHYDRATES.
Carbohydrates are the main "fuel" of the
body, a source of energy for mental work
and all types of physical activity. A balanced
diet should include 50-60% carbohydrates.
There is plenty to choose from bread,
cereals, potatoes, legumes, fruits. This food
contains fiber and takes up more space in
the stomach. If you eat foods containing
fiber, you will eat less, but you will be full.
When consuming such foods, it is very
beneficial to drink water. If you oversaturate
the body with carbohydrates, as is the case
with any other substance, then the excess
will lead to the deposition of fat. Refined
sugar is also a carbohydrate, but it lacks
valuable nutrients. This is a "useless" product.
If instead of eating normally, you intercept
the chocolate bar, you thereby upset the
nutritional balance. Plus, you don't have
enough energy for a full day's work. When
shopping, be sure to read what is written
on the package. Remember all products
ending in "-ose" ("glucose", "fructose") are
sugars and they are not at all harmless to
you than refined sugar. The same must be
said about honey, syrups. Remember, all
sweets are bad for your teeth.
