How to use sugar without harm to health

Today I want to share with you the experience of using a non-obvious properties of sugar - its ability to act as an additional source of energy for our brain. This property is difficult to uncover, abusing sweet, but very easy to use, if you eat a balanced way.

Describe a situation in which, for example, I face constantly. Few people on the load is uniform. Usually calm periods are replaced by jobs involving all hands and more tasks with very tight deadlines. At such times, need help from the outside, with this, that does not cause unpleasant consequences for our health. We do not want to sacrifice the productivity of well-being, right?

And here comes in the sugar - a simple carbohydrate that is split into glucose. That glucose is the fuel for our body and the main source of energy for the brain and muscles. At the right time and in the right quantities if it gives us a second wind, helping to cope with the physical and mental stress. Try to drink 200-300 ml of juice, soda or tea with a couple of spoons of sugar - just half an hour you will add strength. At the same time, by the way, the water balance is normal, because on the day we need to eat about 40 ml of liquid per 1 kg of weight.

The effect described above is manifest in those who pamper yourself sweet. With the constant arrival of fast carbohydrates accustomed to the body fails to respond adequately to the next batch of sugar. If your diet consist principally of slow carbohydrates, such as grains and vegetables, the result of eating something sweet will be much more noticeable.

What is it to drink

It's a question of balance between the use, availability, speed, and ease of preparation.

• Fresh juice - a good choice. Here in the office do not have a juicer, fruit in bulk perishable and even stand properly.
• Tea and coffee with sugar - a faster and more affordable option, but you need hot water and utensils, and to transport more and thermos.
• Soda - the most practical option. The package with the cover it is possible to carry anywhere.

how to drink

The recommended daily rate of sugar consumption in Russia is 65 g, but, of course, this figure may be adjusted taking into account the age and activity. Responsible manufacturers who care about us, indicate the sugar content and caloric value on the label, so to comply with the daily rate is much simpler.

Thus, the label cola specified sugar content - 10.6 g per 100 ml beverage. Compare with the juices and make conclusions: in orange - about 13 mg of sugar per 100 ml, in the peach - 15.9 g sugar to the same extent, and altogether in grape 16.3 g sugar per 100 ml. Do not forget to observe moderation in all things, and to take into account all the calories ingested.

According to the recommended daily norm, I can, without prejudice to drink a couple of glasses of sugary drinks a day if, of course, I will not build your diet on mere fast carbohydrates, plus a small margin on the left later.

In conclusion, I want to remind fans HLS indignant that any product can carry both benefit and harm. The fact that people get sick and grow fat, most often to blame is not the sugar itself, but the lack of physical activity, unbalanced diet and many other factors, the importance of which we tend to underestimate.

No dubious "research", seized upon by greedy for sensations media does not change the fact that without the glucose man can not live. Since our bodies evolved thousands of thousands of years, nature has made us such.

Watch your diet and drink plenty of fluids. Remember that all foods and beverages can be part of a balanced diet combined with regular physical activity.
