Carbohydrates sources:
-Cereal grains and pulses-the rich source.
-Potatoes,sweet potatoes,rice,banana,dates,honey,molasses and drie fruits as good source.
-Rafinated products:sugar,flour and starch.
Sugar and flour are used to make bread,cakes,syrups,pasta.
Digestion of carbohydrates ends in glucose, one gram gives 4.1 calories and provides the greater part of energy need of the body.Carbohydrates results in cellulose too and the cellulose of food is ingestible,but gives bulk which is valuable for stimulation of intestinal peristalsis and prevention of constipation.Dietary roughage showed to be of value in prevention of caner colon.
he dietary allowance of carbohydrates varies with total energy need of the individual.
Carbohydrates from a balanced diet gives around 60% of energy requirement.
Don't eliminate totaly the carbohydrates from your daily diet.Eliminate the excess and the consumption type rafinated products (sugar,flour) that can develop obesity (the carbs are converted in fats in the body and stored in fatty tissues).
A low carbohydrate diet expose you to:
-combustion of fat as energy,causing excess formation and accumulation of ketone bodies (risk of diabetes)
-combustion of more protein for energy (when we have a fat restricted diet too)-dangerous for the vital functions.
Include "good" carbohydrates in your diet,consume fruits,vegetables and cereal grains daily to avoid constipation,colon cancer,irritated state of mind,diabetes and failure of the vital function of the body.
First choose the health!
Don't keep a restrictive diet,avoid the excess and those unhealthy carbohydrates that don't have nutritive value for your body!
