How many carbohydrates do you consume a day? Do you even count them or do you not even think about them? In recent years, carbohydrates have become increasingly unpopular and there are some medical arguments for this. Today we'll look at what you can expect from too many carbohydrates and whether you should therefore eliminate carbohydrates from your diet altogether! #nutrition #carbohydrates #health Cited study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29898... ⏩ Get informed first, then supplement: Feel free to take a look at my guide https://bit.ly/RatgeberHowTo ✅ ❎ 100% independent ❎ 100% study-based ❎ 100% medically correct What are carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are a diverse group of compounds that are found in food and provide our bodies with energy. They come in two varieties: simple carbohydrates, which are usually available immediately, you could also call them sugar, and sugar sets off alarm bells, and complex, multi-chain carbohydrates, which release their fuel gradually. Because they are found in almost everything, carbohydrates serve as the primary source of energy and give us the boost we need to get through the day. Glycemic Index - How the Body Reacts to Carbohydrates When you eat simple carbohydrates such as table sugar or sugary sweets, you have to be prepared for a rollercoaster ride in blood sugar levels. These fast-burning carbohydrates are broken down quickly by the body, which leads to a rapid rise in blood sugar levels. The high, however, is short-lived, as the body quickly reacts by releasing insulin to bring blood sugar levels down again. The result? A dreaded drop in energy that makes you feel tired and long for another sweet, which we know as binge eating. How carbohydrates affect the body Excessive carbohydrate consumption can lead to weight gain or increase body fat. Refined carbohydrates and sugary foods, such as pastries and soda, are high in calories. These high-calorie treats often lack important nutrients, leading to over-consumption without providing a satisfying feeling of fullness. In addition, a high-carbohydrate diet can disrupt the delicate balance of insulin levels in the body, promoting fat storage and making it more difficult to shed those extra pounds. This is how much carbohydrates increase your risk of disease! The effects of a high-carbohydrate diet go beyond weight gain and have potential consequences for chronic diseases. Excessive carbohydrate intake, especially from refined sources, can contribute to the development of obesity, metabolic syndrome and heart disease. What should we pay attention to? When it comes to carbohydrates, making conscious choices is key to promoting overall health and well-being. Choosing complex carbohydrates and whole grains instead of refined carbohydrates and processed foods can have a profound impact on our eating habits. ▬ About this channel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ With “Video Visit Dr. Weigl” you have found the current and medical-scientific channel that describes topics related to pain, #medicine and #health in an understandable way but based on facts, guidelines and studies. ▬ Even more videos ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ The best protein sources - plant-based vs animal-based protein sources: https://bit.ly/BestenEiweißquellen_Video Proper nutrition after exercise: https://bit.ly/RezepteMuskelaufbau_Video Regeneration after exercise: When and for how long?: https://bit.ly/Regeneration_Video Fat burners from the fridge: https://bit.ly/Fatburner_Video Is sugar the white poison?: https://bit.ly/ZuckerGift_Video ▬ Social Media ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ►Facebook: https://bit.ly/facebook_DrWeigl ►Website: https://doktorweigl.de ►Twitter: https://bit.ly/Twitter_DrWeigl ►Instagram: / doktorweigl ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Legal notice / disclaimer: The videos are for your information only and never replace personal advice, examination or diagnosis by a licensed, qualified specialist.
