MISCELLANEOUS
In this issue at the subject E
the perennial problem of BREAKFAST
A good percentage of people consume only one type of infusion as simple as a "breakfast", but most of the first intake makes the day a "meal ".
The problem is that the habit of composition has been inherited by us in English and Italian, of which most of us are descendants. They used in their land (and other Europeans as well), to consume in the early hours of the morning, huge cups of coffee or tea with milk, accompanied by slices of fresh bread or toast spread with jam or fruit jams. (Without knowing, almost instinctively, rapid digestion carbohydrates consumed that served to launch his entire body, the short-chain sugars, and other slowly digested starches, which are long chain sugars, which gave them energy for the rest of the morning activities.)
Over the years the bread was partly replaced by cookies that support for sweets, or, lately, bakery bills (half moons are the most common).
Moral: A traditional breakfast consists mainly of carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates, which are almost the only component, is absorbed as glucose in our intestines, so they enter the blood very quickly, especially short chain or disaccharides. This makes the level of "blood glucose (glucose in the blood) to rise rapidly after the first meal.
If a fasting person has a number, eg, 0.80 grams per liter (normal is to have between 0.70 and 1.10 in those conditions), within an hour after breakfast, rises, say, to 1.20 gr. / l, so that the pancreas, which among other things analyzes the blood glucose level every second, to secrete enough insulin so that the excess of 0.40 that has occurred in such a short time, disappear from the blood and enter the cell metabolism of all the economy.
Now it happens that the amount of insulin increta the pancreas is not exact microgram those extra post-breakfast glucose, so that when the level she has returned to 0.80 gr. / L, even there is circulating insulin blood, and this level was identical to the fasting, is now down by the action of insulin residual, so that two or three hours after the first intake is as low to produce a uneasy feeling of discomfort, hopelessness and hunger that force almost all to the usual "mid-morning meal (the 'second breakfast', as it is commonly called). It is about 10:00 or 10:30 pm. when in all workplaces, or at home, the activity stops for about fifteen minutes to the famous mid-morning snack ('snack' is a word that through a complex etymological derivations gimmick, means "get your strength"), refreshment as well as Breakfast consists almost entirely of carbohydrates.
The cycle starts again, then, and the second hunger occurs at noon, but as usual that all those hours we are hungry, not surprising. Generally
noon
also consumed a good proportion of carbohydrates, so from it restarts a cycle similar to the first in the morning. The level of blood glucose decreases occur more slowly this time, as carbohydrates that are part of the lunches are generally starches (slower absorption, because they are longer chain sugars-). That is the reason that calls for the "snack" just four to five hours after lunch.
After it, again the same sequence: hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and she had hypoglycemia will occur around dinnertime.
After the evening meal is also set up the required mechanism, but one is asleep does not notice (they do many who for whatever reason they wake up in the early morning: go to the bathroom to empty your bladder, such But before returning to the bedroom feel compelled to make a "short visit to the fridge "). Almost
there is no human activity that can use that amount of carbs that most people consume, in total, with breakfast, mid morning, lunch, snack and dinner, so as we have seen, the liver changes excess fat is deposited in adipose tissue, increasing the thickness increasing, or cholesterol and triglycerides. (Which forces many to read blogs like this one).
When my patients start to take care of eliminating sugars and flours of your daily intake, are almost all with formidable conflict all morning: breakfast. The question almost universal
is, then, what and at that time?
At first, a radical change of habits, I must admit, is very annoying and almost unbearable for many, as the recommendation to a person of, say, forty-five years since the last forty-three begins your daily diet as I commented above, "to eat now, first thing, an infusion of coffee. mate tea with cream instead of milk (the latter is generally well accepted), and sweetened with artificial sweeteners, along with sliced \u200b\u200bcheese and ham (it would be an option), is literally counter.
But as the days go notice something encouraging to notice it-all, " stop feeling hungry mid-morning . Logically, no longer produces insulin hypersecretion, so that will not fall over at that hour of glucose levels, which was what aroused the feeling that sometimes came to be very upset if the type of activities developed does not allow all the times that habitual consumption of snacks (she happens to bank tellers, for example, or many of those who carry out their work in response to the public or traveling from one point to another of its geography.) Even
arrival lunch or dinner, noticed with amazement most of the time, they feel satisfied with much less than previously needed to achieve it.
"Now as far less," tell me all. To which I reply: "Before
eat much more than what was necessary, which is not the same.
Some of my patients, copying customs which show the media, have incorporated the egg breakfast. It is usually eaten scrambled and served with slices of cheese and ham, or as homelet with sliced \u200b\u200bapples, sweetened artificially with a "touch" of vanilla essence, what they mean the extra advantage of being able to bear lunch time very late. All who are struggling to usual hours for lunch I have no longer feel tortured by hunger if you must eat a lot after 13:00 or 14:00 pm.
NOTE THAT COMES TO CASE
There must be, at least in the western part, any food that has such bad press as the egg.
As chemists, many years ago, warned that contains a large amount of cholesterol (about 180 milligrams per unit), since it was discovered that cholesterol is the main element of the fearsome former atherosclerotic plaques in the inner walls of arteries, practically it aims to exclude from the human diet. If you pay attention to science communicators, notice that he speaks almost worse than cigarette or alcohol. Make the experience of taking a number of general-interest magazines, and if it is how much space is devoted to preaching against the egg, and much maligned to snuff or drink alcoholic beverages, see that I have reason.
food's actually a beautiful, almost magical. The amount of essential nutrients that owns a dozen of them (I mean the chicken, which are universally applicable) is roughly equivalent to that contained a kilogram of beef loin meat, and also a dozen eggs cost eighty percent less than a kg. loin.
is true that are high in cholesterol, but humans, to be strict herbivores , remember, we can not absorb it. Come on, we can not increase blood cholesterol by eating foods containing it, even in large numbers as in the case of the egg (as we have discussed).
cholesterol circulating in our blood, and that of all other animals that also belong to the group of herbivores, elaborate what we from carbohydrates that are found primarily in the organic matter of vegetable origin. (WARNING: back to say that one should care primarily from plant foods that contain a large amount per unit of measurement: grain, flour and sugar, which contain relatively many starches and sugars in their long chain structure, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, squash, beets and fruits. The products of animal origin which are much less must be careful honey, milk, young cheeses and yogurt.)
There is, to my knowledge, no study in humans that can ensure, with unquestionable certainty, that eating large numbers of eggs do raise cholesterol levels in our blood (Indeed, on 10 0ctober 2003, the World Health Organization has desincriminado). In fact, my patients that they are not prohibited and consume freely, never cholesterol He raised it (basing always in biochemical laboratory tests using reagents with high sensitivity and reliability). Quite the contrary, to leave the abusive use of carbohydrates, the figures were down, sometimes in ways that to them and I would not believe.
The error of these statements comes, as we have discussed, to use as animal research models called "omnivores like us," but actually are not strict carnivores , such as rats and mice.
As a geriatrician, that bad publicity is so great food makes me believe glaring problems. The elderly, due to a reduction in intestinal absorption of protein is normal for his age, and to be more pronounced over the years should eat more of them than young people (unless the particular disease inadvisable, which, thank God is very rare).
As usual source of major prótidos are meat, having holes in your teeth, gradually excluding the range of their diet, so that the egg becomes an important source for them, fundamental protein.
But when you tell them they should consume at least half a dozen daily, feel, and you can tell, as if they were prescribing a poison infallible. It is so long and so what they hear bad eggs that some even think that eating just one, would end his life long before the end of the digestion of it.
IS NO EVIDENCE THAT SAYS consuming EGG CHOLESTEROL INCREASES THE BLOOD, AND AS A RESULT, THE POSSIBILITY atherosclerosis. I say that only laboratory tests done on animals that are genetically very distant from us like ants to elephants.
But: "The dogma says that ... And the dogma is our guide, our compass ...!-
Until when?
