How We Are Consuming Lot Of Carbohydrate Which Is Spiking Our Sugar Levels

Many of us think Beans is a healthy source of protein which is not really true. Beans is more of carbohydrate than protein and it mostly enriches us with just fiber, carbs and little protein. It is a complex carbohydrate with low glycemic index so it slows down the breakdown of carbohydrate in the body. Beans doesn't really spike sugar level on its own but what you pair it with is the problem and the ratio of the food pairing. The fiber and protein present in beans will help slow down the breakdown of the carbohydrate it contains.

Healthy protein are found in Eggs, fish and meats. We pair beans with almost everything we eat thinking its a good pair but this is the result you are ignorantly getting.

Pairing Rice with Beans= Carbohydrate and carbohydrate with fiber, little protein.. And at times the ratio of the rice is higher than the beans which is wrong. Rice digests very fast in the body having a high glycemic index. The ratio of the beans should be higher than the rice, in that way the protein and fiber present in beans can help slow down the breakdown of the carb in the body.

Pairing Garri with Beans= Carbohydrate and carbohydrate with fiber, little protein.. At times the ratio of the Garri is higher than the beans which is bad. Garri digests very fast in the body, it has a high glycemic Index so it breaks down carbs very fast which can spike sugar level fast. Adding sugar inside Garri to drink is very wrong, that one na double wahala. This is what most of us are ignorantly drinking everyday as snack.

It gives us energy which is good but it also gets converted to glucose (sugar) in the body which can spike your blood sugar level. So limit your intake of too much carbohydrate without adding more of healthy proteins, vegetables and fruits.
