Speech On Carbohydrates

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

(Ashley Parrish, 06/04/2015, para.2) Carbohydrates are in foods like rice, potatoes, bread, and pasta. Carbohydrates can be healthy and unhealthy. Healthier carbohydrates include beans, fruits and vegetables, and whole grains. Unhealthy carbohydrates can be white bread, pastries, and soda. (Ashley Parrish, 06/04/2015, para.5) When consuming carbohydrates, our body takes the carbohydrates and turns it into glucose which becomes energy for our body. (Harvard T.H.Chan, para.4) The three main types of carbohydrates are sugar, starch, and fiber. Eating too many carbohydrates can cause excessive weight gain. (Emily Wax, 02/09/2016,

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).

1) What does the body use carbohydrates for? One of the main jobs of carbohydrates is to provide fuel for the body to do its job. So if we want to run or walk somewhere or play sports or even work -- all of those activities use carbohydrates. It is our main energy source and helps the body maintain energy.

Most people believe that Sugar babies who are simply arm candy who are paid to be pretty and make conversation with them. Most also believe it’s easy and anyone can do it. However, this is far from the truth. In the Sugar World, there are many things to be careful of, from finding a Salt Daddy or being put into situations where one’s life in danger. The Sugar Bowl is not as sweet as it seems, and I am going to broadcast this to the world.

One of the fields of information I learned, is the worst foods for brain function and memory. These foods include cheese and microwaved popcorn, which I am using for my experiment. The main ingredient causing delayed memory and focus is saturated and trans fats. These fats can clog up arteries and blood flow to the brain, leading to a decrease in memory and focus. Cheese has a bunch of saturated fats and microwaved popcorn has a lot of trans fats, but trans fats are worse than saturated. A study in 2014,

Diets high in sugar and carbs and similarly low in fat are devastating to the brain. I was amazed when Dr Perlmutter indicated that diets high in carbs are associated with 90% increase in dementia.If we look at American Heart Association website they recommend a diet high in whole grains. After listening to this video I have a better understanding about the ideal diet that will help us reduce the risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ADHD, Autism and Multiple Sclerosis. Diets high in fat are associated with 44% reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease. 54% of cases of Alzheimer’s disease could be prevented. By incorporating healthy fats like Coconut oil, Avocadoes, nuts we can regenerate brain cells in memory centers. I was amazed we I knew we can grow back brain cells. This will definitely help me to counsel and education my younger patients, parents to change their diet from early life stages. I can definitely help my patients plan healthy menu. I would encourage all my patients to favor above ground colorful vegetables (because they don’t have a lot of starch in them). Motivate my patients to eat green leafy vegetables like Kale, Swiss chard, Green Collards, Broccoli,

Typical low-carb diets do not work long-term because they contain too many calories. They also require you to avoid carbohydrates for the rest of your life, which quickly leaves most people feeling deprived and unsatisfied. Eating should be pleasurable, not stressful. Even worse, low carb diets can wreck your metabolism and damage your health. Traditional low carb diets ban fruits and certain vegetables.

Carbs is short for carbohydrates, these are known as standard sugars and are made up of groups of carbon, helium, and oxygen atoms (Tutorial on How to Name Carbohydrates 1). These are used by the body for a stable source of energy by being released into the bloodstream at a slow rate. The amount of carbs and athlete eat has a great impact on how well he or she performs on a consistent basis. This also ties into what sport they play, how active outside of said sport they are, what position they play, and how intensely they play. For example a six year old pleasing soccer in their backyard once a week would need less carbs than and Olympic track and field athlete. Fifty to sixty percent of an athletes daily meals should be solely cabs if they're trying to maintain a low carb diet. For a high carb diet a healthy amount of carbs should be from fifty to fifty to eighty-five percent. This might be an extreme amount to some people because their body could not be used to this level of carbohydrate intake on a regular basis. Carbs can come from a nearly infinite number of foods, they can come from beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes, among many

Therefore, nutritional strategies to increase body carbohydrate stores or carbohydrate availability are considered to be potentially beneficial for maintaining or improving performance capabilities”(Nutrition Bytes, (1)). In this way, choosing to follow the standard American diet which is low in carbohydrates and high in protein and fats is contradictory to the blood sugar stability our bodies are designed to function off of. “'Carb loading', short for carbohydrate loading, is a strategy used by athletes to maximize endurance during physical exercise. By consuming large amounts of carbohydrate-rich foods, individuals can increase energy reserves and improve performance (Nutrition Bytes, 3(1))”. In the grandiosity of this example, carb loading reinforces my hypothesis of how carbohydrates based diets is the most efficient source of dietary component to combat fatigue. For this reason, I now plan to continue a life that focuses on an abundance of carbohydrates from sugar, starches, and fibers as I have never felt so awake in my

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

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

Humans are born with a sweet tooth. From birth the newborn baby smells and taste the milk of his mother. As adults it is not different. We grow up with many cravings for something sweet. One Can of Coke has 10 Teaspoons of Sugar

I believe if you eat carbs in moderation they will not affect you in a bad way. However, most people overeat and do not pay attention to what they eat. The only way carbs will affect someone in a negative way is by overeating, eating the wrong carbs or if you have a certain body type and your body just does not use them the right way. Some people just never know when to stop eating. They have 3 or more plates of food full of starches and sugar. In this day and age, children, teenagers, and adults are becoming obese from eating very wrongly. I have never seen someone’s refrigerator with just pizza and frozen meals, but that is what this generation has grown accustomed to. There are 3 body types, Mesomorph, Ectomorph, and Endomorph. When endomorphs

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
