Are you tempted by foods that are sweet or salty to the taste? If you are like many, you cannot help it, your body hardwired to seek out those fattening foods. Once again, it is your genes. Your genes are looking to survive and as we have learned in earlier articles, survival is at the top of the list for our genes.
Though these types of foods are essential to our survival, we tend to go overboard with identifying these foods and consuming them. It does not mean we cannot change our approach to these temptations, we simply need to become aware of and eat everything in moderation...have we not heard that term before, huh?
When we say sugar, what does that mean and what is sugar? Sugar is terminology for what a plant uses for energy, called carbohydrate molecules. Linking one sugar molecule to another and you get what is now referred to as a complex carbohydrate, or more former known as starch. Included in these complex carbs is rice, potatoes, wheat, and beats. Sugar is utilized by the plants to help feed their seed embryo's, until it can start obtaining energy own its own via sun light.
We digest sugars, not only on purpose through snacks, but naturally as well, through the animal byproducts we eat. You would be surprised to learn that our bodies can actually digest and handle a fair amount of sugar, but unfortunately, science has found a way to chemically-duplicate those natural sugars that leads to our cravings, for which our bodies cannot handle in such large quantities, and ultimately, turns into fat.
As we are all well aware of, fat, for the most part, is not good for us. However, there are fats that are not only good, but essential. You have probably heard of the term omega-3 fats before, right? These are fats present in such fish as sardines, bluefish, and most popular, salmon. You may just overlook the word essential in all this, but that term means that the body cannot produce it on its own and must acquire it from a food source.
If you have read any of my previous articles, then you would know that it is evolution that we owe that to. Through evolution, our bodies, more specifically, our genes discard anything it already gains. So when humans started eating meat, there was no reason to produce those nutrients received from eating the meat.
There are fats in the grains we eat, but not enough of the proper fats and too much of the bad fats. This is a cause of becoming overweight; we eat a meal at our local fast food restaurant and we feel full, not knowing that we just ingested what the body (our genes) do not want a lot of, and neglected to provide what it does want.
