- Sugars
Sugar, glucose is necessary for our cells need to replenish energy. In fact, in terms of impact on our body, sugar is a killer, a killer cold, slow, slowly poisons its prey! This sugar which I will denounce the dangers, the white sugar, refined cane sugar or beet.
Part of an extremely lucrative trade, it is subject to no limitations, no labeling of alarming consumers. But be warned, it acts like a drug: the more one consumes, the more our body requires and the signal directly from the brain.
On grocery store shelves, we are presented with strings of miraculous fat free products, while sugar, which will cleverly turn into fat in our body, is ubiquitous and inescapable.
Sugar addiction is a disease prevalent and deadly
Sugar contains a complete set of trace elements very interesting for the organization. So do not dismiss it in this form. What is regrettable is that the vast majority of the public is not aware that the sugar industry (such as flour, oil and other refined products) is as dangerous to health than alcohol, tobacco and hard drugs: they create an addictive as morphine or cocaine.
Although it is difficult to completely eliminate its power these harmful products, everyone can protect themselves by consuming as much as possible complete natural food, so that the body receives the vitamins and enzymes necessary to metabolize and eliminate undesirable substances. Because, fortunately, our body is equipped with powerful cleanup mechanisms that work best as long as we bring them substances and nutrients they need.
Studies have shown the decrease in aggression in prisons where they had removed the white sugar…
How do I install the dependency?
In fact, you should know that glucose (sugar and not as such) is the fuel that allows our cells produce energy. The muscles and brain, in particular, consume a lot of glucose. Without its dose of glucose, the brain is in mortal danger!
Where does the glucose? Carbohydrates we eat. These carbohydrates, which should form part of our daily diet, are the main constituents of foods:
• vegetables,
• algae (marine and freshwater),
• fruit,
• Whole grains (unpolished rice, whole wheat, etc..)
• and legumes (lentils, beans, chickpeas, beans …).
Our organization does not need more carbohydrates or other “sugars” than these. Well retain this element: we do not need more sugar than those!
Glucose is the energy source immediately available to the brain and central nervous system. The brain has a constant need for glucose. If his reserve decreases, it sends a message to the adrenal glands to secrete adrenaline. They “intimately” to the liver to convert carbohydrates into glucose to release into the bloodstream. If this mechanism malfunctions, the brain is no longer able to walk normally.
In the absence of an appropriate signal from the adrenal gland, the liver can not release enough glucose when the level of it in the blood is low. So, hypoglycemia can occur because the liver can only store carbohydrates properly or because he can convert them into glucose.
What are the symptoms of hypoglycemia?
Episodes of hypoglycemia can mimic almost any neurological or psychiatric disorder:
• convulsions,
• visual disturbances,
• sleep,
• negativism,
• personality change,
• irritability,
• manic behavior.
If you experience either of these symptoms, do not call right away your psychiatrist or therapist. This is perhaps simply a hypoglycemic episode!
Hypoglycemia affects all body functions and these effects can be felt at relatively modest levels of hypoglycemia. The solution? Glycerin control of our food.
Diseases to be linked directly to sugar.
Excessive consumption or unconscious (consumption of products containing it without us knowing) sugar can lead to over-weight or obesity. There is also agreement that it also increases the risk of diabetes. What is less known is that diabetes is increasing in turn the risk of mental illnesses like depression and schizophrenia?
Sugar consumption leads to deficiencies in essential nutrients: vitamins, minerals or fiber. Metabolism is then weaker, more vulnerable to infections, especially respiratory. And that’s without counting the acidity that causes the sugar level of the stomach acid that irritates the lining of the throat and digestive system, which can cause tonsillitis (tonsillitis) chronic.
Some studies have even made a connection between the increase in cancers of the diaphragm and the appearance of liqueurs (or lemonade) in the market for soft drinks…
A look at the glycerin index?
Insulin (hypoglycemic hormone) and glucagons’ (hyperglycemic hormone) is secreted by the pancreas and involved in the regulation of blood sugar. If either is malfunctioning, it is in poor glycerin control.
In the body, the rate of blood sugar, or glucose, is a controlled parameter continuously. Schematically, this quantity is controlled by these two hormones are insulin and glucagons’. When we come to eat, the sugar from food into the blood. The blood sugar rises. The pancreas then secretes insulin, a hormone that will cause the passage of excess sugar into the cells, including liver, where it will be stored as glycogen. Without it, sugar would remain in the blood and destroy the vessels and nerves.
When too much fast sugar enters the blood, the pancreas works at full capacity and, eventually, the cells no longer take seriously overactive insulin. The pancreas him, always trying to produce more insulin to lower blood sugar levels.
In short, when you eat simple sugars, blood sugar rises, the pancreas panics and makes insulin. Sugar eventually runs out and it is imperative to eat sweet. And when the blood contains too much insulin, fats are no longer degraded.
The index or glycerin index (GI) is the result of a calculation that determines the speed of assimilation of sugar, in whatever form, by the body. More food is consumed high-glycerin (ie by raising our rapidly glucose in the blood), the more you tend to gain weight because excess glucose is quickly converted into fat by the body. By cons, foods with low glycerin index do not cause this rapid rise in blood sugar and does not lead to the production of fats “reserve”. In addition, more a food has a low glycerin index, the less it will raise blood sugar and it will cause less insulin secretion.
The base index to calculate the glycerin index is 100. Reasonably, it should consume foods in moderation with an index above 70. By cons, the foods below 50 fits into the healthy weight you wish to obtain or maintain!
You should also know that foods with the highest glycerin index are not only richer in glucose, but also the poorest in fibers. But the fibers also wish us well.
How to reduce the glycerin index of a food at a meal?
Recent research and confirmed, it is known that acidic foods, especially vinegar (but also some fruits such as grapefruit and lemon), avoid rapid increases in glucose in the blood, especially when eaten within minutes before the meal.
Eat protein or healthy fats (rich in Omega-3 and other essential fatty) before the meal, will also help lower the overall GI of a meal.
Warning: if the rate of glucose in the blood depends on the glycerin index of a food, it must also take into account how much carbohydrate the food. It is better to eat a small amount of food that a lot of hyperglycemic foods low in carbohydrates.
It is very easy to meet carbohydrate needs, because they are present in many foods, mainly vegetables, legumes, roots and fruits, that is to say in all plant foods. They are much less present in animal products. The meat contains very little. Only the egg yolks and milk (milk sugar is lactose) are an animal source rich in carbohydrates.
What really counts in a meal, it’s not that he has a low glycerin load because it is low in carbohydrates, but it is rich in carbohydrate foods with low glycerin index.
Conclude on the dangers of refined sugar
Sugar consumption has become, over time, over-consumption and worse, an uncontrolled consumption.
In North America, as I said before, the shelves are piled high with food “o trans fat” statement displayed in relief, but the word “sugar” is cleverly hidden in discreet labeling of ingredients or nutritional values, labels that few people check!
Simply because they are unaware that their body will transform the sugars they consume excess fat carefully … This fortress built by the lobbying industry is a reflection of poor eating habits that urgently need to be free!
In a healthy balanced diet, varied and largely made of fruits and vegetables, we do not need to add sugar and all refined sugar especially given the devastation it causes to our health.
If we need gentleness, sweetness, rather than have recourse to different products and just as “sweeteners” to get us: agave nectar (GI 16), coconut sugar (GI 35), dried fruit (apricots, figs). Dates to avoid GI of 95 and cooked carrots, very fashionable in muffins, 85 to IG! May prefer raisins GI of 65.
