Doesn't Sugar Give Us Energy

Technically we do get energy from sugar. But too much sugar is not a good thing. In fact, high blood sugar can have the opposite effect and actually make you feel tired. So getting the right amount of the right kind of sugar is important. You probably didn't know there are different kinds of sugar. Sugar is so important to our bodies that scientists have actually created some technical terms to talk about it. For example, if you have a high level of sugar in your blood it is called hyperglycemia. So if you hear someone say they are hyperglycemic that just means they have trouble with sugar when it gets into their body. So how does this sugar get into their bodies? Through food, drinks, candy, fruits, and other things you may not realize.

It is so important to control how much sugar we get that scientists use what they call a glycemic index for food to tell how much sugar a food has. This index works well for natural foods like fruits and vegetables but it doesn't help us with things like soft drinks, candy, or pastries. Even knowing the glycemic index is only half the solutions.

There are two kinds of carbohydrates one kind is called simple carbohydrates the other is called complex carbohydrates. But carbohydrates is just another word for sugar. Why did they give them these names? Because they wanted a way to tell if the sugar will get into your body quickly or slowly. Simple sugars get absorbed quickly while complex sugar is absorbed slowly over a longer period of time. Quick sugars give you a burst of energy and slow sugars give you energy all day. There are some basic rules if you don't have a glycemic index handy. White foods are usually high in sugar. Foods high in fiber are usually low in sugar. Foods high in protein are low in sugar.

Quantum Ad Code

In the last decade the percentage of Americans taking antidepressants has doubled, and now 1 in 10 Americans are popping "happy" pills to improve their outlook on life. What if depression issues are merely symptomatic of something greater, and could be improved by finding a way to balance the bodies PH? The final stages of acidosis are often life shortening. Cancer, lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Tuberculosis all have one common link, a highly acidic body PH. Eating foods that are very alkaline can help improve your body's PH. The old motto "You are what you eat" holds some merit. Green leafy vegetables, bell peppers, papaya, and other fruits and vegetables are all bursting with nutrition and are decidedly more alkaline. A healthy diet can definitely improve your outcomes on the PH spectrum. However, many Americans are finding that as the world becomes more toxic it is increasingly difficult to balance PH with diet alone. Nutrition is n...

Acing the First Date!

Believe it or not, but men actually have boundaries. If you cross one of a man's boundaries, you can definitely expect a negative reaction. Even something as simple as a word can make a man mad, can turn a man off, or can even chase him away. In terms of the bigger picture, however, men are still relatively simple creatures. Men generally only have three major turn-offs, but they're still turn-offs that you want to avoid at all cost. Don't be too needy. Give your man the space he needs and desires. Let him live his own life, hang out with his own friends, and do what he wants to do. If you begin to insist that he only spends his time doing things that you approve of, or that he spends every waking moment in your presence - or worse, that he spends every waking moment tending to your every need - he's going to feel more smothered than hash browns at the bottom of a plate of onions. If you don't give him the room he needs to breathe, he's going to run away gaspi...
