What I Learned From My Mom And Dad Growing Up

What I Learned From My Mom And Dad Growing Up 

Being in an Asian family, I grew up eating a lot of rice! Three

times a day! Rice is a complex carbohydrate or simply a starch.

Starch means a long complex chain of simple sugars. These types 

of foods raise they sugar level in your body fast. Higher 

glycemic index or sugar level are pre-cursors to diabetes,

weight gain and high acidity. High acid levels in the body have

been linked to autoimmune diseases, degeneration of the joints 

and even cancer. So watch your complex carbohydrate intake and 

remember less is more. My next blog will be about simple

carbohydrates, so stay tuned!
