Control your carb intake

-

HAvING low self-esteem, depression and feel socially isolated? Do you have symptoms of being short of breath, with sore joints and muscles and feeling tired?

All these might be the causes of obesity or overweight. The prevalence of obesity has increased dramatical­ly in many countries in this new era as sugary and fatty snacks are often within arm’s reach.

To resist these cravings is becoming exceedingl­y difficult.

Despite that, many people start to be concerned about their health these days because being overweight and obese can lead to many health problems.

Dieters often try to avoid carbrich foods such as breads and pastas. A carb-free diet is difficult to maintain due to the fact that these foods are a staple diet for many and difficult to eliminate from one’s lifestyle.

Carbohydra­tes comprise simple and complex carbs. Simple carbs include table sugar and sweeten drinks, whereas complex carbs are starches such as rice, bread, pasta, noodles, sweet potato and starchy vegetables.

Carbohydra­tes are the main energy source for the human body. The digestive system breaks down carbohydra­tes into glucose. Glucose travel to the liver to fill energy stores. After that, they enter the bloodstrea­m and provide energy to cells.

Carbohydra­tes add a feel good factor to almost any meal, but overindulg­ing in breads, pasta, potatoes and rice can lead to unwanted weight gain.

Carbohydra­tes only pose a problem when the excess glucose is not burnt off, resulting its storage as fat, which in turn leads to a range of health risks.
