A new study shows that consumption of food high in sugar leads to the release of harmful substances in the blood. Parents should take special note, because many children high sugar meals and snacks several times a day. This behavior is the stage for a lifetime of problems of chronic diseases.
This is the process of writing
All foods have a "glycemic index" which is a measure of how quickly the body burns the food that is in the fuel line. Foods with a lot of simple sugarsburn very rapidly, while foods rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates to burn very slowly.
High-glycemic foods that burn very fast rise in blood sugar levels cause rapid. The body reacts to this increase in blood sugar by releasing a large dose of insulin to drive the level of sugar in the blood back. This is the reason for the crash "energy" you feel after eating a meal high in GI.
Low glycemic foods that cause blood sugar to increase very slowly burn care at a speed controllable. In this wayThe body does not need to take drastic measures to take to keep blood sugar levels under control. They feel a uniform level of energy after a low glycemic food and not feel the crash a few hours after eating, like you, with a high glycemic meal.
The risk of personal reactor
The peak energy and block that you are after a high glycemic meal, blood sugar because the body is used as the primary source of fuel for a molecule of "energy" required to make ATP. However, the production of ATP isa bit 'dangerous because the losses and other molecules called free radicals, which in turn of "oxidative stress".
Oxidative stress can be very damaging to cells and has not discovered the damage leads to chronic diseases such as heart disease, some cancers and even depression. The damage accumulates in the body in places such as the arteries, heart, lungs and brain and leads to slow chronic degenerative diseases.
Fortunately, our bodies have mechanisms to maintainFree radical damage and oxidative stress under control. There are proteins that actually captures the free radicals and "neutralize" so that they are no longer dangerous. However, at work, this system requires that the anti-oxidants in fruit and vegetables, and multi-vitamin supplements.
E 'similar to hazards in the use of nuclear energy. This is an incredibly powerful source of energy, until it goes wrong. When the reactor over-heats thenDifficulties that may occur. The same happens with the production of ATP. When blood sugar is high, the production of ATP is in full swing and the release of free radicals out of control. Eating high glycemic kicks ATP production.
It is known that the consumption of foods with high glycemic results of oxidative stress and a new study in the July 2006 Journal of Clinical Nutrition confirmed by measuring the actual signs of oxidative stress in blood after a meal at low and highglycemic meals. The study found a strong relationship between the glycemic index of a meal and the degree of oxidative stress markers in the blood after eating. High glycemic foods cause high oxidative stress.
Why is it so important? This means that eating high-glycemic meals that our kids all the time cause damage, which probably can lead to chronic degenerative diseases, when they become adults. Especially when you couple this with the fact that most children do not get theantioxidant protection that they need to eat more servings of fruits and vegetables. This is a double whammy, the greatest damage has been reduced and security.
Damage Control
What types of foods that cause this damage? There are many common foods guy, which is very high on the glycemic index scale. For starters, there are breakfast cereals, high sugar, waffles and pancakes with plenty of syrup and toast with jam foods with high glycemic index much. It's not just sugary foods that areIssue. Foods that are mainly of refined grains and flour as bad. Things like white bread, pasta and cheese, crackers and hotdog buns.
Much can be done to protect the current health and future of your children, to make the switch to whole grain bread and fruit and vegetables in their diet. This is common sense, things that humans have been known for some time.
My hope in writing this article is that understanding a little 'more aboutBecause "healthy foods" are so necessary to help motivate people to act. Imagine in your head a little 'picks blood circulating through your children every time they eat high glycemic meals and maybe that will help you make better decisions.
Be, all decisions about food are equilibrium realistic. Will not kill you to eat badly and then. Enough to understand that's it for the risk. The more you or your children make poor food choicesgreatest damage is collected and increases the higher your risk for problems later in life. Act now to give the thought of food choice in the behavior of your children.
A proud moment, let me conclude with a brief history. Last week my 9-year-old son came to work with me and we had lunch in our little shop 'of coffee. The selection of menus that day was a turkey sandwich, pepperoni pizza, soups and a salad buffet. I told him that was what he wanted, and I was very happy when he wantedthe salad bar. It's not that he does not like pizza or turkey sandwich, but has made a healthy choice at your own salad, because I really want.
A year ago, he hated everything "green." My wife and I moved a small amount of vegetables on your plate with salad, if we had them. We did not force them to eat the stuff, but still single provider. Lastly, he began increasingly to eat and he realized that he likes the salad. Now, the twoMy children love of a variety of steamed vegetables and eat all kinds of fruit at regular intervals.
Children do not like a lot of food when they are very young, but experts have told us, just continue with them. Finally, come around. Otherwise, they grow up fast food for the rest of their lives and health, there are no more years. Please do not rob your children of them. Give them the greatest gift possible, their health.
