Simple
sugars and yeast infections
Have you ever wondered
why you eat a chocolate bar or sugary treat
and then about 30 minutes later you crave another and
then another?

There are two
types of carbohydrates Complex and Simple. This
is determined by how many molecules make up the
carbohydrate.
Simple carbohydrates like sugar and white
flour
are very simple Carbohydrates have very few
molecules and are absorbed very quickly
into
the blood stream. A yeast infection feeds of
this.
When this happens
your pancreas becomes over stimulated and
lowers your blood sugar levels. Over time this
can be very bad as your body can
not handle it and eventually leads to
diabetes.

The bad thing is it turns into a
horrible cycle.
It makes you have cravings for sugar so you
eat more sugar.
Then after 30 min's you crave more sugar and
then more sugar.
Can you understand how this can be very bad for
your health and yeast infection?
It is like a drug and it can be a hard habit to
break.
Our body keeps our sugar levels normal during
the day but if we constantly bombard it with
sugary treats your body works
overtime.

If you skip meals your body
will take the Glycogen from your liver and when the supply runs
out you are left feeling hungry and tired.
So what do you do? you go for that sugar fix.
The bad thing is sugars taste
great and we gobble up about
130 pounds of it every year.
If you’re wondering how much that is, well it’s like eating
11,000
chocolate chip cookies or ¾ cup of sugar a day.
This unhealthy consumption of sugar is a major cause of
malnutrition.
Here is a short list of simple sugars..
Please keep in mind that some fruits have simple sugar but we
should
still be eating fruits if your nutritionist advises it along
with milk products.
Fructose
Mostly found in honey and fruits, fructose is also added to a
lot of foods
especially soft drinks.
Sucrose
Commonly known as everyday
table sugar and consists of fructose and glucose.
Galactose
Mainly found in parts of milk as a small part of the
lactose.
Glucose
Found in fruits and added to food as a sweetener.
It is called blood sugar in our body.
Maltose
Found in some sprouted seedlings
and in beer.
It is also added to processed foods.
Complex
carbohydrates
Even though complex carbs are a form
of simple sugar they don’t do
the damage that simple carbohydrates do.
If you could describe both the simple carbohydrate and
complex
carbohydrates under a microscope you would see that complex
carbohydrates are long and stringy like a line of
Christmas tree lights.
Simple carbohydrates look like 2 balls stuck together.
Complex carbohydrates provide us with a major source of
energy.
They are easily broken down in the digestive tract which
results in glucose
being distributed to various parts of the body that need it,
like the brain,
liver and muscles.
It also provides fibre which keeps our digestive system
happy.
You should consider eating more complex carbs than simple carbs
and
this decision can make a major difference to your health and
lifespan.
It also is better to eat complex carbs because too many simple
carbs
can lead to diabetes, obesity and heart disease.
But, you knew that didn't you?
So.. does this mean you can not satisfy your
cravings?
Well the answer to that is yes you
can, but do it in the right way.
you can have a snack everyday if you really need to and think
your
going crazy from withdrawal symptoms, but eat it after
meals.
This is because when simple sugar is mixed with complex sugars
it is
released in the bloodstream more slowly.
Your daily calories should not be more than 10% sugar.
This also helps because if you eat 3 or 4 cookies or chocolates
as
an in between snack, you will eat more. Whereas if you eat them
after
dinner you won’t eat as much or even feel like eating as
much.
If you do need to eat between meals choose complex carb foods
like…
Apples, bananas, apricots, oranges, plums, grapes, tomatoes,
cheese,
lettuce, make an extra sandwich and cut it in portions so you
can eat it
instead of that sugary snack.
Switch to fresh and dried fruits as much as you can to satisfy
those cravings, instead of sugar.
