Working out is not for everyone, though it probably should be. The least we can do to maintain good health and not become one of the statistically OBESE is to take some care about our food choices. I regularly read the notablenibbler and her food reviews. They are mouthwateringly described. The spices and the exotic flavors are what make food worth eating. The part we can do without is the starch they pour it over... the white rice, white mashed potatoes, and white bread. The science behind the starchy foods being less healthy for you than even a little oil is that when you eat sugars and starches they are very rapidly absorbed by your body and trigger an insulin response. Over time we become less efficient at managing this starch that turns rapidly into sugar and we become insulin resistant. The eventual result can be type 2 diabetes which is becoming epidemic in this country. And of course, obesity which is never healthy. This blog will continue with a series on health and fitness.
