Are carbohydrates necessary for you ( TAMIL )

The Basics of Carbohydrate Nutrition
1. Introduction
Carbohydrates are one of the three macronutrients essential for human nutrition, alongside proteins and fats. They are the body’s primary source of energy, especially for the brain and muscles during physical activity. Carbohydrates are found in a wide variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and dairy products.
2. Classifications
Carbohydrates are classified into three main categories:
1. Sugars: Simple carbohydrates, such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose.
2. Starches: Complex carbohydrates found in foods like bread, rice, and potatoes.
3. Fiber: Non-digestible carbohydrates found in plant foods, essential for digestive health.
3. Nutritional Facts
• Energy Content: Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram.
• Daily Intake Recommendation: The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that carbohydrates make up 45-65% of total daily calories.
• Sources: Whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and dairy products are good sources of carbohydrates.
4. Different Types of Carbohydrates
1. Simple Carbohydrates: Found in foods like fruits, milk, and sweeteners (sugar, honey).
• Quick source of energy
• Can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels
2. Complex Carbohydrates: Found in whole grains, legumes, and starchy vegetables.
• Provide sustained energy
• Contain fiber, vitamins, and minerals
• Help maintain stable blood sugar levels
5. How to Eat Carbohydrates in Your Meal
• Balanced Diet: Combine carbohydrates with proteins and fats to slow down digestion and maintain stable blood sugar levels.
• Portion Control: Use a plate model - fill half your plate with vegetables, one-quarter with protein, and one-quarter with carbohydrates.
• Carb Counting: For those managing blood sugar, counting grams of carbohydrates can be helpful. Aim for consistent intake throughout the day.
Recommended Ratios and Quantities
• General Population: 45-65% of daily calories from carbohydrates.
• Active Individuals: May require more carbohydrates to replenish glycogen stores.
• Caloric Intake: Adjust based on individual energy needs and activity levels. For example, a 2000-calorie diet should include 225-325 grams of carbohydrates.
6. A Note on Fiber
• Types of Fiber: Soluble (dissolves in water) and insoluble (does not dissolve in water).
• Benefits: Aids in digestion, helps maintain bowel health, lowers cholesterol levels, and controls blood sugar levels.
• Recommended Intake: 25 grams per day for women and 38 grams per day for men.
7. A Note on Sugar Alcohols
• Types: Include xylitol, erythritol, sorbitol, and maltitol.
• Uses: Often used as low-calorie sweeteners in sugar-free and reduced-calorie foods.
• Benefits: Provide fewer calories than sugar and have a lower impact on blood sugar levels.
• Considerations: Can cause digestive issues like bloating and diarrhea when consumed in large amounts.
Understanding carbohydrate nutrition helps in making informed dietary choices, leading to better health and energy management. Balancing different types of carbohydrates and being mindful of their sources can contribute to overall well-being.
6 Key Points to Remember When Choosing Carbohydrates
1. Choose Whole Grains Over Refined Grains:
• Whole grains (brown rice, quinoa, oats) retain more nutrients and fiber compared to refined grains (white bread, white rice).
• They help maintain steady energy levels and promote digestive health.
2. Prioritize High-Fiber Foods:
• Opt for foods rich in dietary fiber such as vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains.
• Fiber aids digestion, helps control blood sugar levels, and supports heart health.
3. Limit Added Sugars:
• Minimize intake of foods and beverages with added sugars (soda, candy, baked goods).
• Excessive sugar can lead to weight gain, poor metabolic health, and increased risk of chronic diseases.
4. Balance Carbohydrate Intake with Protein and Fat:
• Combining carbohydrates with protein and healthy fats can slow digestion, prevent blood sugar spikes, and keep you fuller longer.
• Examples include pairing whole-grain bread with nut butter or adding avocado to a quinoa salad.
5. Pay Attention to Portion Sizes:
• Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overconsumption of calories and maintain a balanced diet.
• Use tools like measuring cups or visual aids (e.g., a serving of rice is about the size of a fist) to manage portions.
6. Choose Nutrient-Dense Sources:
• Select carbohydrate sources that provide additional nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
• Examples include sweet potatoes, berries, and beans, which offer more than just carbohydrates.
By keeping these points in mind, you can make healthier carbohydrate choices that contribute to overall nutrition and well-being.

After 2 years of my research and collecting data from various sources, I came to a conclusion that
There is no one food that is good or bad, eat everything in moderate quantity with minimal workouts.
There is too much information in social media nowadays. Just this one golden rule will do. :)

[@sachinsingh-wg9bl]

We can't eat everything and be healthy bro. With ur statement it's like I start eating junk in moderate and expect to be healthy. Junk food should be very less like 5% and 95% Shud be healthy food in moderate. Excerise and stretches weekly thrice is more than enough. I tried all food diets like keto, Paleo diet, low carb and OMAD and found the best diet depends upon ur lifestyle.

[@nave2n]

@@sachinsingh-wg9bl I believe we both on same page just different lines. The term moderate just means what you have explained in 5% and 95%. You are basically moderating the levels of food. And I also agree on the part of individuals lifestyle as well. Thanks :)

Thank you again for your informative video Dr.Santhosh. I’ve been following low carb, high protein diet, exercising regularly and so on, but struggling to correct my IFG(impaired fasting glucose)! It doesn’t go below 110, any specific method can I follow?
I mean I walk after meals, physically active, eating healthy, but just couldn’t correct my IFG!!!
Recently I learnt about physiological insulin resistance with low carb diet as well! So any guidance would be much appreciated.
