FIVE REASONS WHY YOU NEED CARBS IN YOUR DIET
Date Posted:13 January 2016
We need to stop demonising carbs, they aren't the enemy that many fad diets would have you believe. Did you know high-fibre wholegrain foods are linked with a reduced risk of heart problems and Type 2 diabetes. Carbs have been made to be the villain but we do need them, as they give our brains and muscles the fuel they need to function on a daily basis.
While your carb intake should be controlled, it shouldn't be eliminated here are the reasons why -
- LO-GI OR SLOW RELEASING CARBOHYDRATES HELP CONTROL YOUR APPETITE
- MUSCLES NEED CARBS IN ORDER TO BURN FAT
- OUR BODY TURNS CARBS INTO GLUCOSE THAT FUELS OUR BRAIN
- EATING FIBRE RICH CARBS MAKES US LESS LIKELY TO DEVELOP HEART DISEASE, STROKE, TYPE 2 DIABETES AND BOWEL CANCER
- CARBS HELP BOOST OUR MOOD BY INDIRECTLY BOOSTING OUR LEVELS OF SEROTONIN - THE HAPPY HORMONE!
