Healthy Eating tip 5

CARBS
I think people in general just love carbs. Unfortunately the carbs we most crave seem to be the unhealthy, fattening ones. Chips, crackers, pasta. What's a body to do. EAT the good ones
(whole grains)
They are rich in photochemical and antioxidants which help protect against heat disease, cancers and diabetes. Try to include the good carbs daily in your eating. Go slowly is just starting out on this new way of eating.
Healthy examples--whole grains, beans fruits and vegetables. They are digested slowly which makes you feel full longer.
Unhealthy-- white flour, refined sugar and white rice. They digest quickly and can cause spikes in blood sugar which is not good.
