Earlier we looked at few simple lifestyle changes. 0 sugar in all forms was #1
> Healthy body approximately has 5 ltrs blood & 5 Gms of Sugar (i.e.1 small teaspoon)
> All of this sugar and even more we get in a day by consuming carbs alone
> Carbs such as grains, veggies, fruits, legumes provide more than 5 gms sugar daily
> Grains & Fruits constitute major part of carbs
> Glycemic Index of most grains including millet is high (Barley is big exception)
> While pulses / legumes have more Protein & less Carbs/Sugars
> All nutrients in grains can be had thru other food types
> Hence absolutely NO need to have any added sugar in any forms
> Most of packaged / processed food has Masked Sugar (such as dextrose, maltose, maltodextrin, corn syrups etc.) Its sold as Sugar free and more harmful as we end up eating in ample. Even Honey is a form of sugar and to be avoided / kept to a minimum.
> Studies have shown that elevated sugar levels impact insulin levels triggering accumulation of fat cells leading to Diabetes(DM), BP, PCOD, Thyroid, most of the hormonal diseases which show up gradually over number of years
Be focused & adopt below Low Carb food profile:
- Higher Pulses, Lentils, Vegetables, Nuts, Seeds (if Eggs / Meat / Seafood)
- Medium / Low Fruits (Low GI fruits like apple/pear mainly)
- Low Grains & Dairy
- 0 carbonated drinks and fruit juices
- 0 packaged / processed food
- 0 Sugar in all forms (Honey, Date Sugar, – Stevia is the best alternative with very low caloric value)
Believe me 😊 (& array of doctors, researchers, practitioners), you wont miss much if you leave out on some of the above, but rather feel lot more energetic & healthy ✅
