- Carbs
There are basically two types of carbs, good and bad carbs. Good carbs are carbs that have not been refined in any way, the reason why refined carbs are bad is because when the carb is refined all of its nutritional value is pulled right out. Carbs that have been refined when ingested into the body get turned into glucose almost instantly which means that the pancreas cannot create insulin fast enough meaning the glucose has to get stored as fat. On the other hand carbs that have not been refined when ingested into the body takes a longer time to turn into glucose meaning you body can use it more and less of the glucose becomes fat.
-Fat
Their are three types of fat, trans, saturated and unsaturated. The only fat that is good for you in the unsaturated fat. unsaturated fat stays a liquid at room temperature meaning that you will have less artery clogs meaning less disease. Saturated fat is a fat that at room temperature is a solid, this means that if you eat it there is a likely chance that this fat will get stuck in you arteries and create clogs. Trans fat is like saturated fat except that it has gone through a presses called hydrogenation this makes the fat hard at room temperature and is the worst fat of all three because it turns the fat not just solid but hard.
-Protein
Proteins are used in your body to repair tissue, repair bones make blood but proteins also have a high amount of calories. Proteins that come from red meats especially have a lot of calories you want to stay away from red meat because of this. If you have too many calories that can start to build up in you veins and eventually clog leading to strokes and heart attacks. meats like chicken and turkey should be eaten because they have a lower amount of calories.
