Sugars are Evil: The Sugar Bomb
Not to worry, we are not going to ban sugar from your diet. After all, we did say 'No big unreasonable sacrifices' under 'The Problem' section at the top of this page. Banning ice cream, desserts, fruits, etc would be unreasonable. But we must reduce and control it if you are to lose weight.
The reason we don't want to ingest sugar directly is that we want the body to regulate its sugar levels on its own. Fluctuations in your glucose (blood sugar) disrupt your daily activities. You will get those highs and lows because ingesting it directly gets processed so fast that you might as well inject it into your bloodstream directly.
Diabetes is an example of a disease in which your body as lost much of it's control of glucose in the bloodstream. This is why you don't want to feed it glucose or any sugar alone for that reason. If you do, your blood sugar levels will be all over the place and you'll have highs and lows throughout the day. With each low, you'll be tired and hungry persuading you to eat more. If you eat more sugar, you will be propagating this high-low cycle and you will not feel good. You'll likely overeat, feel lethargic most of the time, and possibly earn yourself a diabetes badge. It is no surprise that diabetes and overweight are often tied together.
In the western world there seems to be two types of common breakfast and they are both bad for breakfast. Bacon and eggs or cereal. Lets talk cereal since that contains lots of sugar.
Cereal for breakfast is a bad idea but mostly because cereals are bombarded with sugars. You add milk on top of that which has milk sugar (lactose) and you got one big sugar bomb. Now think about it. You just got up and that last time you ate was over 12 or more hours ago. It's is likely that your blood sugar is low. Why would you want to sugar bomb your bloodstream at this point? It's not a good idea no matter how you look at it. So why do we do it? Probably tradition and because the sugary stuff tastes so good. Of course if you eat a no sugar cereal and little milk it might be ok presuming your cereal is complex carbs..
看起来确实是种早餐食品,大概是牛奶里放麦片之类的,由于糖分非常高被称为Sugar bomb。 |
