Glucose: when it is harmful
The most common is glucose. It is divided into three types:
- monosaccharides,
- disaccharides
- polysaccharides.
monosaccharides (Fast carbohydrates) are one glucose molecule. Which quickly raise blood sugar levels.
disaccharides have two glucose molecules and act somewhat slower.
polysaccharides They have a lot of glucose molecules that are gradually detached from their company and slowly work in the body.
When you receive a lot of glucose, there is a glyukozorezistentnosti state - a sharp, temporary and chronic. Timed levels over time will return to normal (if you do not feed yourself snacks), but the chronic level just causes diabetes and damages Takanen various systems (from the internal organs to receptacles eye and capillaries). Suffer from liver, eyes, kidneys, an inflammation,
Fructose annoying receptors and the pancreas produces insulin, which carries glucose in the liver, the muscles, the brain a little bit. Everything else falls into the adipose tissue.
Starch - to your health!
It polysaccharides (slow carbohydrates) rather than sugar (monosaccharide) give us energy for a long time. Most polysaccharides - it is vegetables, cereals, legumes, green culture.
Polysaccharides contain particularly valuable material - starch. He is different: amylose (does not raise blood sugar levels) and amylopectin (increased sugar).
In order to obtain a useful starch is greater need to use products that have a shell: beans, buckwheat, unpolished rice, oats. From bean to do better spreads, baked potatoes, or cooking and cooling. Mashed potatoes - solid amylopectin. That is - not useful.

To get the most benefit from starch, it should be:
- Fig take in the shell, well tenderize it to cool at least 10 hours
- bananas to choose green, and not overripe.
- pasta cook until al dente, and the state is also cool,
- carrot eaten raw or cooking al dente,
- beets and potatoes boiled and cooled,
