Easily assimilated carbohydrates

It seems to us that it is simply impossible to refuse baking and other baking, sweets, cakes, cakes and sugar. All these products combine one thing - they contain easily assimilated carbohydrates. Many have heard that they can harm the body, but why this happens, not everyone knows.

First, you should determine what is related to easily assimilated carbohydrates:

• glucose;
• galactose;
• fructose;
• sucrose;
• maltose;
• lactose.

These compounds have a simple chemical structure, so with their processing the body can easily cope. When simple carbohydrates are absorbed into the blood, a large release of a large portion of insulin occurs. Rapid carbohydrates are deposited in the form of fat deposits, and an insulinic jump leads to a subsequent drop in the level of glucose in the blood, which causes the so-called carbohydrate hunger. Thus, digestible carbohydrates themselves tend to stock up in the form of fat, this is facilitated by the release of anabolic hormone insulin in response to their use. In addition, these carbohydrates saturate us only for a short time, then becoming the cause of aggravation of hunger and overeating.

Foods that have digestible carbohydrates:

• sugar;
• honey;
• sweet fruits (bananas, grapes);
• alcoholic beverages;
• sweet soda;
• wheat flour and products made of it (biscuits, rolls, muffins, cakes, pies, pancakes);
• dried fruits (dried apricots, dates , candied fruits).

Thus, people with diabetes, or simply wanting to lose weight, should exclude from their diet products containing easily digestible carbohydrates (mainly sugar and flour). Many fruits and dried fruits are also sources of fast carbohydrates, but they also carry useful compounds - vitamins and minerals, so their use in moderate amounts is fully justified.

Knowing in which foods are easily assimilated carbohydrates, you can independently build the right diet. If you really want sometimes to eat something that contains a lot of simple carbohydrates, it is better to do it in the morning, while the activity is still at a fairly high level. Just a few easily digestible carbohydrates can be consumed immediately after a long sport training, because during exercise, the glycogen reserve in the liver is first consumed, and the carbohydrates eaten during this period will be used to restore it.
