First, we must discern the "good" sugars "bad." The most dangerous are the refined sugars called sugars, or modified industrially. White sugar, which makes up about 90% of our consumption, is one. With him the brown sugar, brown sugar or brown sugar. They are the leading cause of many diseases related to lifestyle (diabetes, cholesterol increased, obesity, decreased immune function, cancer ...). It is thus considered as a real sugar drug that you have to know detoxify. To help you, we will explain everything you need to know about glucose.
Slow and fast sugars sugars
Recently criticized by nutritionists and doctors, the notion of "sugars" and "complex carbohydrates" changes gradually. Today, instead of classifying each food according to their nature, they are arranged according to their glycemic index - or the assimilation rate of a carbohydrate by the body (see below). The carbohydrates are assimilated slowly by the body and are essential to our bodies, and sugars, in contrast, are metabolized too quickly to be useful to him.
Simple sugars (contained in confectionery, pizza, industrial flat, white sugars ...) cause excessive blood glucose levels in the blood and require metabolism to regulate. Consumed in large quantities, they also create an effect "yoyo" on the body that oscillates between hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, and damages the cells in the long term.
Carbohydrates, in turn, serve as fuel and give your body the energy it requires. You will find them mainly in starches and whole grain breads. Essential to a healthy diet (especially sports), it must nevertheless be careful not to abuse it, and always balanced meals.
The glycemic index
As explained above, the glycemic index (or GI) is the new way - more precisely - to classify foods. It measures the ability of a carbohydrate to raise more or less glucose in the blood and thus its rate of absorption in the body. 100 is used (pure glucose) to benchmark and compared it each nutrient.
The higher the glycemic index, the higher the food is quickly absorbed by the body and he is useless - or worse. However, when the glycemic index is low, considering that the food is slow and good for the body. Thus, over 70 is called simple sugars, below 70 carbohydrates.
Attention should be aware that the IG also changes depending on how the food is cooked. Potato steam, for example, has a GI of 70 while potato baked has a GI of 95. The raw carrot glycemic index represents 30 against 85 when it is cooked (see table here).
How to wean?
It speaks well for withdrawal, just like a drug, sugar is addictive and difficult nutrient to banish from his diet. More sugar you consume, the more you feel like it. To regain a healthy lifestyle, so you have truly detoxify you from all unnecessary doses of glucose and especially harmful.
- Start with already reduced gradually your amount of sugar daily. Replace it with a fruit taste that will bring you satisfaction while keeping a low to moderate glycemic index (GI single ripe banana is high (65)).
- Get rid definitely substitutes for sugar and other sweeteners bad for health.
- Go for a pure detox and lasts from a few days to make your job easier in your fight against sugar.
In the end, what sugars to keep?
We repeat: Farewell refined sugars (white sugar, red, blonde, brown sugar, brown sugar ...) and artificial sweeteners (including aspartame) that can be found in the so-called "light". Industrial, they contain no substances beneficial to the body and are found in calories and very addictive.
Prefer to use the whole cane sugar, black treacle, or foods naturally composed of glucose as honey and syrups (stevia, cereal, maple, rice or agave). Alternatives that bring you the desired sweetness without causing damage to your body.
