Good and Bad Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are nutritious to the body. For that reason, they should be taken in modulated amounts to ensure the body’s well-being. The regulation of carbohydrate intake depends on the type of carbohydrate (Lawler et al., 2021).
How does the information in the article compare to what you have heard about different types of carbohydrates?
The article is very elaborate on carbohydrate types and their structure. Also, the writer goes into detail about the differences between the types of carbohydrates and makes it clear which carbohydrate is good and which is bad. In contrast with common knowledge, it is clear that not all carbohydrates are bad for a person’s health. Normally, people say that all carbohydrate is bad for the body and only proteins are good for the body, a clear misconception. People do not take the time to learn more about the different types of carbohydrates.
Identify two specific choices (food or beverage) you might make in order to replace a ‘bad carb’ with a ‘good carb’ in your own diet.
The two food choices that I would switch in my diet are pasta and eggs. Not only do I consume a large amount of pasta, but also I do it frequently. Pasta is made from wheat and is, therefore, a simple carbohydrate that is a bad carbohydrate. With the high intake, I expose myself to calorie increases in the body. On the other hand, eggs are proteins that do not cause a spike in blood sugar levels. Proteins are complex structures, and therefore, their breakdown yields slow carbohydrate absorption into the bloodstream.
The average American tends to consume excessive simple and added sugars (‘bad’ carbs) while lacking in ‘good carbs’ from dairy, whole grains, fruit, and starchy vegetables. Do you agree? Have you observed this? Discuss your observations and thoughts.
Most people consume excessive simple and added sugars. Foods containing simple sugar are readily available as compared to foods that are good carbs. A good example of foods people consume is a hot dog or a burger. The buns used in these foods are mostly from white wheat, and they can be accessed anywhere. On the other hand, foods with good carbs, such as dairy products, are not easily accessible; a consumer might have to go to a store to buy a packet. Consequently, a hungry person will eat what they come into first, favoring the intake of bad carbs.
In conclusion, weight loss is a result of the intake of the right amount of nutrients in each food group.
