Here is some Fruit for thought and an interesting take on Thyroid issues, Diabetes, fats and even about making healthy babies... Enjoy xx This is just a snippet: Confusion and ignorance surrounding “carbs”, that the complex ones are “healthy” while simpler ones are “unhealthy”, or that we should exclude this macronutrient entirely, has gotten us into serious metabolic strife. We’ve been so ill informed that it’s come to the point where even fruits, those nourishing, restorative, pro-metabolic, digestible (and delicious) jewels of nature, are damned. We’re told carbs are carbs, sugars are sugars, ignoring the fundamental biochemistry of all the very different carbohydrate forms. Whole grains are so wrongly glorified while orange juice is put on par with Pepsi. And where has this got us? Fat, diabetic, hypothyroid, inflamed, adrenalised and reproductively-challenged. When clients come to me complaining of incessant “carb-cravings” as if it’s indicative of an emotional weakness on their part, I suggest to them that maybe their body is an intelligent machine that sends out signals for a reason and maybe, just maybe, their cells are screaming out for fuel: glucose. Their metabolic needs are not being met. L I S T E N T O Y O U R B O D Y. Understand the differences and intricacies of carbohydrates, and the basics of physiology. Understand what healthy “sugars” are, don’t cut carbs (only the inefficient ones), don’t “quit” real sugar, and certainly don’t fear fruits. EMMA SGOURAKIS DIP.HLTH.SC(NUT)B.A.ATMS NUTRITIONIST
