Sugar: adored by children and feared by parents

Sugar: adored by children and feared by parents

It is more than in the face that gluttony makes us regretted buying delicacies minutes later. Still more impossible mission is to go to the supermarket with children. Try to explain to them that it is best not to bring stuffed biscuit, chocolate, ice cream, candy and other goodies, all at once, because health will come out impaired. The crying is right. So the balance in food needs to start early or your little one will suffer later if they become so hostage to sugar.

Sweet villain

There has been a lot of panic around the sugar. But the villain of this whole story is the more refined, more traditional and cheap type. It is that this sugar undergoes a process of refinement in which it loses all the vitamins. That is why it gained fame (very fair) of empty calorie. Refined sugar does nothing but fall right into our bloodstream (so it raises the blood glucose level rapidly), and if we fool ourselves into consuming sweet treats, it's true that a few extra pounds will appear easy.

This type of sugar can even be eliminated from our habits without causing any problems. The substances responsible for giving us energy are the complex carbohydrates (which come from cereals, breads, potatoes, cassava, corn, legumes) and the simple ones (found in fructose, lactose and glucose). Moral of the story: refined sugar does not lack any.

Energy and happiness

That's right. The consumption of sugar causes our body to be invaded by a sensation of euphoria. So kids tend to be electric and tireless after a dessert, not just the happiness of having a cup of coffee. However, after the consumption of sugar, the body itself is stimulated to produce insulin, which lowers sugar levels, leading to tiredness.

See how easy it is to indulge in sugar? Not to fall into the temptation to eat something with sugar urgently, the way is to educate the palate and open the range of options at the time of dessert. Remember that the greatest examples of a child come from home, that is, if you do not resist a good or stuffed biscuit, it becomes difficult for your child.

Health problems

I wish! Dental caries is also associated with excessive consumption of sugar, even though a child always has a bullet or lollipop in his mouth. Adults, on the other hand, do not miss the coffee. If the teeth are not brushed then the mouth becomes an environment conducive to the appearance of cavities. Also associated with weight gain are cardiovascular problems and hypertension.

However, sugar can not be considered responsible for diabetes. Type 1 results from the destruction of cells in the pancreas, which can occur due to antibodies, free radicals of oxygen or even genetics. Type 2 comes from the various degrees of insulin resistance that a person has over the years and most cases happen to obese people.

Change the taste

It's hard to be happy without sugar, but the good thing is that there are alternatives to refining that make everyone smile again easy. For example, brown sugar is very nutritious, as it does not go through all the refinement steps and conserves some of the calcium, iron, proteins and vitamins B1 and B2. The organic sugar has properties similar to those of the brown because it does not undergo refinement, in addition, pesticides are not used in the cane planting. Honey contains minerals (calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron), vitamins and proteins and light sugar has fewer calories than refined.

Stevia is a type of sweetener extracted from a plant with the potential to sweeten 300 times more than ordinary sugar. Besides, of course, common sweeteners.

The ideal is for children to eat sweets on weekends or at parties, outings or trips. The ideal is also not having these goodies at home daily. If they ask, have options of dried fruits, which are candies, jellies, natural juices, whole buns, among others. These are nutritious, strengthen circulation and aid in the growth and health of the pimps. It is essential that they acquire discipline early and not suffer in the future with diseases resulting from inadequate nutrition in childhood.

So, how about proposing a fruit salad sweetened with honey or fructose for today's dessert? It's never too late to change habits and welcome health, do you agree? Parents, be more aware of your child's health.

Right diet and physical exercises exterminate the tummy

That belly that keeps on evidence, despite weight loss (Find out your ideal weight), is an aesthetic problem for many women. In addition, it is a health hazard. "This fat, which involves internal organs such as the liver and pancreas, makes it difficult to bind the insulin with its cellular receptor, causing insulin resistance that predisposes to diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol problems," explains the endocrinologist and board member of the Association Brazilian Journal of Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome (Abeso) Cláudia Cozer.
