Let’s think about this question, do we believe that low carb diets can make us slimmer and healthier? We believe that our answer is yes. We eat low carbohydrate food and avoid food which contains large amount of carbohydrates; because we simply believe that low carb diet is an ideal thing to do.
Is that really truth? Going on low carb diets can potentially bring us health risks.
We know that carbohydrates, and eventually foods, are the main source of energy for human body. Thus, it is unwise to go on a low carb diet and only eat low carbohydrate food. We need a balance between high and low carbohydrate food. We need them both at the same time to achieve optimum health.
Going on low carb diets may cause long term health risks. If we are low carb dieters, it is better for us to change our diets to healthier ones. Getting advice from nutritionist can be a good way to help us to get better health advices and more enjoyable way to please our appetite.
Low carb dieters should eat food which contains reasonable amount of protein, such as meat, but over-consuming protein can also bring us health risks like osteoporosis. If our body does not have enough calcium to balance the acids resulting from protein digestion process, our body will obtain the need of calcium from the bones.
According to the American Institute for Cancer Research low carbohydrates food diets can be found straightforwardly in animal food, but naturally low in vegetables, and fruits. Moreover, international studies have observed that countries of which its people has low fat intake have manage to lower the risk of breast cancer, than that of countries of which people has high fat intake. To minimize the risk of cancer, we need to have high fiber intake. Fiber is another important substance for our body.
