The health element some people miss is the easy part. First we have to describe fitness. Fitness is preserving the body's structure to work with a minimum of illness, problems, and breakdown. That's like explaining a gadget, but that's what our body is, a wonder gadget. Like any machine, what kind of gas we put into the machine is critical because if low-grade gasoline enters the machine, the result is low-grade efficiency. We live in a world where sugar is clearly the dietary king. If a baby develops a taste for sugar when it's young, parents fail to get the kid to consume something that's nutritious from the addictive taste that sugar has. The next time you visit the store, look at some of the aisle food products. Note the children's snack, morning tea, cereals, and even some main courses. Look for fructose and sucrose because it's sugars. Many children's beverages are filled with sugar, let alone soft drinks. Adults have the same problem as many foods...

About 29 million Americans (9.3 percent) have diabetes, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey. Among those with diabetes, one in four thinks he or she doesn't. According to the National Diabetes Statistical Survey, only in 2012 1,7 million people 20 or older were newly diagnosed with diabetes. Type 2 Diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, causing the body not to produce insulin properly. Many diets have been suggested to help deal with the condition, but research reported by the National Institute of Health and on Diabetesjourals.org have shown that low-carbohydrate diets have been shown to be more effective in weight loss among people with type 2 diabetes and to control blood sugar levels. The explanation is pretty easy. Your body transforms carbohydrates into glucose that increases blood sugar. Refined carbohydrates, such as white bread or white flour, are processed in your body as refined sugar and convert to glucose faster than unrefined carbs,...

Many experts attribute the large-scale epidemic or obesity in the United States, where 1/3 of all adults are largely obese, to a steady increase over an extended period of time in the intake of unhealthy carbohydrates, including but not limited to table sugar and all items made from it, refined starch, processed food and even too much fruit sugar. According to one study (Cohen E, et al., Statistical Review of U.S. Macronutrient Consumption Data, 1965–2011), overweight and obese Americans rose from 42.3% to 66.1% from 1971 to 2011 and during this time: The fat intake decreased from 44.7% to 33.6% · Carbohydrate consumption increased from 39% to 50% from 1965 to 2011 Researchers believe these statistics imply a link between high carb intake in our diets and societal-scale obesity. Before making judgments, it is important to understand the major differences between the two carbohydrates, and if one is particularly advantageous over the other. It's also important to consider your dieta...

Whether you're on a low-carbon diet or just want to learn more about different types of carbohydrate, this article is for you. Not everyone is equal when it comes to sugars. In addition, some are produced more equally than others, in the sense that they are highly nutritious, with no high carbohydrate density of starchy or sugary fruits , vegetables and grains. When you follow a low carbohydrate lifestyle or try to adapt to a ketogenic lifestyle, proper vegetable selection is becoming more and more important. The ketogenic diet, along with a mild protein and a high intake of healthy fat, is very low in carbs, most of which are derived from non-starchy vegetables. This diet causes a metabolic process known as ketosis, where the body uses stored fat for fuel instead of dietary carbohydrates. Why the squabble, though? Isn't every vegetable perfect for you? Yes, but not all of them will help you achieve your goal of ketosis if you find that carb restriction is essential. What kind ...
