Sugar, flour and overweight
In the normal daily diet almost inevitably find sugars. And is that its consumption is not harmful, but when it increases, things rarely go well. The average person consumes about 61 kg of sugar per year, about 300 to 600 calories per day.
This is too much considering that sugar is not an additive nutrient but its only merit is that it provides immediate energy.
The contribution of carbohydrates is 4 calories per gram, which is less than the contribution of fat (9 kilocalories per gram). Of course that fats are more able to cause obesity.
The normal consumption of sugar per day can be in (6-15 teaspoons) but only the following example shows how we can spend that amount. A soda contains 9 teaspoons sugar equivalent to a fruit juice can reach 12 teaspoons, coffee adds 2 more, a 7 tablespoons yogurt in order with these equivalences and had a normal amount and that’s the problem when added a sedentary lifestyle and our day is absent from the movement.
On the other hand bread, pasta, fruits contain sugar. Too much sugar can be dangerous because it unbalances the delicate regulatory mechanisms to store and “burn” the simple sugars. This imbalance favoring overweight. Also promotes diabetes (incorrect response to the production of insulin by the pancreas) cells in the pancreas fatigue.
Finally, it is advisable to reduce consumption of sugar, not add too much to food. Put less on drinks, yogurt, fruit. Trying to suppress it completely (one gets used pretty quickly). Avoid alcohol and certain foods high in added sugar. Look for natural alternatives to sweeten.
