Carbohydrates are Killing Us Softly Thomas J. Engstrom Western Governors University WGU Student ID# 000529592 Carbohydrates are Killing Us Softly The nutritional dietary consumption of carbohydrates is between 55-75% for the vast majority of the global population as their main source of food intake and energy.  And the general populous continues to be misinformed by government agencies regarding what a normal, healthy diet, should be, as well as what a balanced diet looks like.  Eating a low-carb high-fat, or ketogenic, diet of high fat, adequate protein and low carbohydrates can provide many health benefits as compared to the alternative of an unhealthy diet. Research suggests that a ketogenic diet builds a healthier body than

Discussion Interpretation and evaluation According to the results, the time of prior exercise and the average number of cycles after the exercise were inversely proportional. The time of prior exercise assumed to be approximately proportional to the amount of exercise. Also, the number of cycles presumed to be inversely proportional to muscle fatigue. This is because greater muscle fatigue would prevent faster rate of muscle contraction, this would result in performing a lower number of cycles during a given period. Hence, based on the graph, it was inferred that the amount of previous exercise and muscle fatigue would have a positive linear relationship. This implies that as the amount of previous exercise increased the macule fatigue increased accordingly.

... If carbohydrate in the diet is restricted, a person's ability to exercise is compromised because there is not enough glycogen kept in storage to fuel the body.The three main nutrients used for energy are carbohydrates, protein, and fats, with carbohydrates being the most important source. Your body can also use protein and fats for energy when carbs have been depleted. When you eat, your body breaks down nutrients into smaller components and absorbs them to use as fuel. If your feeling drowsy or really tired during the day you might have low iron or low on nutrition.

Introduction Nutrition is the basic process of providing the human body with the necessary food for health and growth. While this might seem to be a simple concept, nutrition is exceedingly complex and affects many areas of an individual’s life. One of these areas is exercise. Diet is considered one of

Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates is one of my favorite meal categories. I need carbohydrates for energy, because I am extremely active. I happened to be under my DRI goal of three hundred and twenty-one grams, and consumed two hundred and eighty. Normally my diet is high in carbohydrates because I love noodles, rice, and bread; everything that contains carbohydrates. The recommendation that I have for myself would be that I should consume less carbohydrates, and have them for fewer meals.

Diet Analysis Carbohydrates When analyzing the comparison of the percentages intake of carbohydrates, the dietary recommended intake (DRI) in iprofile was 45-65%. The outcome of the three-day process displays that I am within an acceptable range of 57%. However, the foods that were part of the three-day diet consisted of various carbohydrates such as complex, simple, and fiber. Despite, that many people try to avoid or cut starches, they are vital to an individual health for several reasons. However, the body used carbohydrate as the primary source for providing energy, to protect against diseases, controlling weight, which all factors are important in a healthy diet (Mayo Clinic, 2016). An importance of carbohydrates in the diet, it can easily store in both the muscles and liver for future use and plays a role in the organs such as the kidneys, brain, and the heart for operating properly (Medline Plus, 2016).

Carbohydrates, a primary source of energy for the body, are the sugars, starches, and fibers found in fruits, grains, vegetables, and milk products. The carbohydrates intake that I recorded reached the recommended level of carbohydrates intake. My intake of carbohydrate was 219.40 germs on the actual intakes list. Although it reached 80 percent of the recommended carbohydrates intake, my carbohydrate intake still below the goal in my calorie assessment report. Due to this, I should eat more vegetable or whole grains. Moreover, almost all my carbohydrates intake came from white rice, fruits, and noodles in my three-day diet food list. White rice, and noodles both contain high carbohydrates for

As we eat protein, fat and carbohydrates, as the main energy source, carbohydrates or glucose (simple sugar) break down into complex molecules. We need steady supply of glucose in between meals and at times like doing extensive workouts, there is an elevated demand for

Carbohydrates are one of the important nutrients in our body which are our main source of energy for all body functions.

Fueling Athletes CALORIES: Athletes often overlook the energy demands of daily training sessions. Total calories required are considerably increased for the training and competing athlete versus the average person, but it should be done in the proper % to total daily intake. If sufficient calories are not included

How ever there was a huge change in food intake after participants engaged in High Intensity Exercise. There was a difference shown with a significance of (P<.05). This helped the researchers come to the conclusion that High Intensity workouts are beneficial for the 24 hour energy balance. However it found that these effects usually don’t carry over into the next day. It also showed that while the consumption levels fell the types of food which they consumed did not change

A High-Fat Meal After eating a meal high in fats (Chips, cheese burger, French fries) a couple of hours earlier, my stomach felt full even before the workout. After starting the workout, the feeling in my stomach became even worse since while working out (jogging around the playground), the food in

My diet (see table 1) before sport is high in carbohydrates, but improvements can be made as it is high in fat and low in protein. The strengths in my diet are the fruits and vegetables as they contain vitamins, fibre and minerals (betterhealth,2016). I had lean protein in two meals to help build muscle and help with growth. Carbohydrates were consumed, which is used as fuel for energy. The weaknesses in my diet are too much processed sugar

Carbohydrate loading is a strategy used by some of the athletes. This strategy is aimed at increasing the amount of fuel that is kept at their muscles to enable them to improve their performance by enduring events. Carbohydrate loading is achieved through the continuous eating of high-carbohydrates meals while reducing the level of activities. Carbohydrate loading is mostly beneficial for enduring athletes such as swimmers, cyclists, and marathon runners. Other athletes do not require carbohydrate loading since it is possible for them to get their calories from carbohydrates (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2015). To understand more about carbohydrates loading, this excerpt will examine how it works.

Low Carbohydrate Diets What is a carbohydrate? A carbohydrate is a member of a large class of natural organic substances. Carbohydrates are in almost everything we eat, sometimes in very small amounts but often times in substantial quantities. Some examples of common carbohydrates are sugars, starch and cellulose. Carbohydrates are important because they provide a storage of energy in our bodies that is quickly accessible. In fact, carbohydrates make up the major source of dietary energy for people all over the world (Stephen 1995). In addition, carbohydrate intake increases levels of a substance called tryptophan in the body, which releases serotonin in the brain. Whether this phenomenon affects our hunger and eating habits is
