If you understand these three things ( Carbohydrates, Glucose and Fats), you are surely on the highway to health. Health, like wealth must be earned by working smart to attain and maintain it. To work smart needs knowledge of the roles of the trinity in your body.
People assume that eating fattty food is the reason people get fat. They are wrong.
Those with diabetes feel they are doing good to their bodies by just taking bread or some cakes, but not sugar. Again, not so correct- carbohydrates ( bad carbo) spike sugar faster than table sugar that you put in your coffee.
Table sugar is sucrose, which after entering your body will be converted to glucose for your body to use as energy. Similarly, carbohydrates are also converted to glucose in your body after eating.
Not all sugars or carbohydrates taken will be fully utilised as at times we tend to eat too much. So the remaining glucose from the food eaten will be stored in the form of fat.
The fat converted from glucose or carbohydrates are stored in your body cells like money saved in the bank to be used in times of need. In this case, in times of hunger or starvation, stored fat will be reconverted into energy source for survival.
But if YOU keep gobbling carbohydrates and sugar endlessly, you will both be fat and diabetic.
Next, I will elaborate more on how to use those wisely so you stay healthy.
