Sugars: what are them? How to recognize them?

Sugars are divided into simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates.

The monosaccharides (glucose, fructose and galactose) and the disaccharides (the common table sugar "sucrose", lactose, and maltose) are part of simple carbohydrates. 

Complex carbohydrates are found in starch, contained mainly in the flour and vegetables such as potatoes, bananas, and vegetables.

Fruit sugars

Sugars contained in fruits and vegetables, although less than sugars found in grains, are essential to the nutrition and health of the body. If you have diabetes (or other specific diseases related to carbohydrates and/or sugars) is important to find out the sugar content of fruits and which ones have the highest amount.  The following is a list of fruits with a high percentage of sugar:

  • bananas
  • persimmon
  • dried chestnuts
  • dates
  • figs
  • plums
  • grape

Lose weight by eliminating added sugars

Foods rich in carbohydrates are digested and then absorbed quickly into the bloodstream: generally, the process occurs in the hours immediately following the meal.

Do you want to reach your ideal weight and obtain a perfect shape? The first rule is to avoid the rapid absorption of sugar by preventing glucose to record excessive concentrations of sugars harmful to our health. High rates and sudden spikes determine, in fact, the production of insulin.

When found in excess, the insulin hormone blocks the weight loss process and stimulates the weight gain process. The glucose will then adversely affects mental performance and our daily mood.
