Carbohydrates – good or evil?
October 3rd, 2007 by admin
Like any other kind of food some kinds of carbs are better choices than others. Balance is key with complex carbohydrates representing a bigger part of our diet than simple carbs. Because they take longer to digest, we get a more controlled release of blood sugar and insulin balance and generally are the more nutritional choice. Of course it’s not that simple.
Some complex carbs turn into sugar rather quickly. Potatoes are one such example. This is why we have the glycemic index.
Some people believe in banishing carbs altogether and blame obesity entirely on carb consumption. They are over-simplifying and it can be dangerous. Very-low carb diets can result in a lack of energy, and loss of lean muscle mass. You may lose weight, but do you want to be weak at the same time?
A moderate intake of carbohydrates is recommended by the American Heart Association and many other major health organizations. They recommend at least 55% of calories from carbs.
