Nedd http://www.prairie8.org/?p=426 Although carbohydrates increase the level of sugar in the blood, but remove them from your diet is not necessarily the right answer, for many reasons. The trick is to control the types of carbohydrates you eat and know how much you can eat. You will definitely increase your intake of whole grains (which contain carbohydrates), not only for their fiber, but also for their antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

cereal

1) Choose cereals with at least 5 grams of fiber per serving
Among other advantages, the fibers can feel to have a full belly. So you can take all morning with just a little snack, but it is not mandatory, before lunch.

The fibers come from grains are also associated with a reduction of inflammation in women with type 2 diabetes. This is important because experts believe that inflammation plays a major role in diabetes and in the development of heart disease. A study of physicians found that those who ate whole-grain cereal every day were 28% less likely to have heart failure for more than 24 years.

2) Buy traditional oats instead of instant cereal packets
If you hesitate between oatmeal and cold cereals, choose oatmeal. They have fewer calories than most cold cereals and, unlike most cold cereals, oats are rich in soluble fiber stabilizing sugar.

The oats are rich in soluble fiber and fewer calories than cold cereal

In fact, studies have shown that eating a cup of oatmeal five or six times a week may reduce the risk of contracting type 2 diabetes by 39%. The oatmeal also contribute to lower cholesterol. But watch out for instant packets for breakfast, they usually contain added sugar, not to mention sodium (which can increase blood pressure). Oatmeal apple-flavored instant of a packet containing 229 milligrams of sodium. A cup of oatmeal brings only 3 milligrams sodium and warm and tender texture continues to seduce.

3) Choose bread with the word “whole” in the first ingredient
Watch the color of bread will do you no if that’s really the whole grain. You must read the ingredient list. The breads that list “enriched wheat flour” as the main ingredient has been stripped of most of their nutrients (in fact, about 11 vitamins and minerals are lost in the enrichment process). Breads that are enriched also contain added sugar and fat.

It is true that we have breakfast, but do it absolutely correctly. Cereals are a food star of this meal of the day, and so we must be clear about the different types we can find and what are the best for the body.

Grains are processed cereal like wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye? Despite sharing raw material there are many varieties within the range that appears to us to consume, what we consider most suitable for health.

Many people believe that eating cereal is another way to get a food loaded with empty calories. Nothing is further from reality, and that cereals are the staple food, as they are loaded with nutrients necessary for the proper functioning of the body and carbohydrates to give us the energy needed to meet the various daily actions . Along with this we must take into account the low intake of fat they have.

Broadly speaking this is what defines grains, but when there are many manufacturers of processing that add unnecessary fats in order to make the product taste and texture. A clear example is processed cereals to which you add chocolate, which usually carry animal fat, like other sugar added sugars they carry what they do is provide us with unnecessary calories.

To avoid these additions we need to know to choose cereals that more nutrients are going to make without adding extra fat and calories. To achieve this we must flee too elaborate varieties in which the grain is put aside and what is wanted is to give maximum flavor to the food to which are added fats and other derivatives. To choose the correct option is necessary that we repair the more natural than the cereal much better for our health.

This naturally goes through just eat cereals have followed a process at all, we must put aside grain flavors and textures, as accompanied by saturated fats and sugars empty. Instead, we opt for the flakes obtained directly from raw grain. Something similar happens with the raw material, cereal, it is important that you consume with minimal processing. Eat unrefined grains, that is comprehensive, is the best solution for maximum dose of nutrients and energy intake, the body processes more slowly by us to use gradually, as we are going to need.

We repair is needed in this knowledge when choosing a variety of cereal or other point of sale, since it depends much of our food and the quantity and quality of energy that we have to begin day on a good foot.
