The Importance Of Diet - Carbohydrates... Not what you expected

Almost everybody knows that diet is an extremely important factor in your health - obviously. We always hear about how bad fast food restaurants can be for us, how we should eat five fruits and vegetables a day and so on... however many important factors have been left out.

In this article I will discuss the dangers of excess carbohydrates, which are consumed by people through many different foods believed to be healthy - reality is, that they are the complete opposite.

Firstly, think about how many times you have heard how excellent carbohydrates are to eat, especially to reduce risks of and eliminate obesity and heart disease, pasta and bread are praised as extremely healthy foods which can help eliminate excess fat and build a good health.

Unfortunately, the scientists really haven't given you the whole story on this food group, and how many negative effects they can have on your body. They can seriously cause obesity and make it almost impossible to lose.

There are two types of carbohydrates, simple carbohydrates, and complex carbohydrates. It is the simple ones you should watch out for. They are converted by your body to fat and stored - a cause of many people's weight problems.

Your body does not have the ability to store excess simple carbohydrates. Your liver can store a limited amount, and then the rest is stored in your muscles - from where it cannot even be used. The carbohydrates left over, are then converted into fat by your body, and stored - making you overweight. By reducing how many carbohydrates you eat, you can seriously improve your health within days. You get all the carbohydrates you need from fruit and vegetables, stop eating bread and pasta at all!

The simple carbohydrates are found mostly in grains, which is a category of food you should try to completely avoid. You should try and completely eliminate grains completely, this includes most, if not all cereals, bread, pasta, everything containing wheat etc.

97% of people eat cereal for breakfast, a breakfast full of bad fattening carbohydrates. There are a variety of different things you can have for breakfast, you can make different things up, below is a list of good things to have in your breakfast:

Most berries
- Strawberries
- Raspberries
- Blueberries

Seeds
- Pumpkin seeds
- Sunflower seeds
- Sesame seeds
- Flax seeds

RAW EGG
- As long as it is organic, your body can get a lot from raw eggs. There are rumors about raw eggs and how they can give diseases etc, but the truth about this is, the diseases can often come from the chemicals put in eggs, and what animals are fed on.

If you eat raw eggs from free range animals, you are getting an egg from a healthy animal which has been well fed and kept. Raw battery eggs are a different story, and are definitely bad to eat, this is because these CAN be diseased. The reason for this, is that battery animals are badly fed and kept, and they develop diseases because of their appallingly unhealthy lifestyle.

RAW COWS MILK
- Again, same as with eggs, you can safely drink raw cows milk if you ensure that you buy it from a healthy farm, with completely free roaming and organic cows.

Eat ALL organic food, chemicals that are put in food for whatever purpose are EXTREMELY dangerous. They weaken your body's immune system making you vulnerable to disease, and many of these chemicals can make you ill. These different chemicals will be explained individually in later articles.
