The Sugar Debate | How does sugar affect the body, limiting sugar intake - 0 views

nutrition health food sugar

shared by Renee Dryg on 28 Oct 10 - No Cached

Refined sugar sneaks into our diets in everything from the obvious cookies and candies to less-apparent packaged goods, such as pasta sauce and frozen food. And added sugars, such as high-fructose corn syrup, aren't the only problem; processed carbohydrates (such as that white bagel you wolfed down between meetings this morning) break down similarly in the body. Whatever the source, these simple sugars have an immediate effect: The pancreas has to work extra hard to manufacture insulin (the blood sugar-balancing hormone), and whatever energy the body can't use gets stored as fat, resulting in unhealthy weight gain and even insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes.

BMI is a formula that doctors use to estimate how much body fat a person has based on his or her weight and height.

Cancel
Although you can calculate BMI on your own, it's a good idea to ask your doctor, school nurse, or fitness counselor to help you figure out what it means. That's because a doctor can do more than just use BMI to assess a person's current weight. He or she can take into account where a girl or guy is during puberty and use BMI results from past years to track whether that person may be at risk for becoming overweight.

Heredity plays a role in body shape and what a person weighs. People from different races, ethnic groups, and nationalities tend to have different body fat distribution (meaning they accumulate fat in different parts of their bodies) or body composition (amounts of bone and muscle versus fat).

"Stick to natural sources. Fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and even milk contain plenty of natural sugars that satisfy a body's requirements, says Anding. If you eat adequate amounts of these healthful foods, they will likely provide enough energy - along with other important vitamins and minerals - to get you through the day, says Christine Gerbstadt, MD, RD, of Sarasota, Florida. And though fresh fruit is high in natural sugars, you don't have to feel guilty about eating it. Not only does fruit contain health-boosting vitamins, minerals and antioxidants but its fiber slows down sugar absorption, says Cypess."
