You are what you eat


You must have heard of the phrase 'You are what you eat'.
Well, apparently it's quite true.
The food that we eat basically compose of;
a) macro-nutrients :- protein, fat and carbohydrate
b) micro-nutrients  :- vitamins, minerals and trace elements
c) water
In my last post I talked about weight and sugar. All carbohydrates basically compose of some form of sugar. But here I just want to talk about one form of carbohydrate that is so common and easily available in our daily diet. Yes, you must have guessed it right, I am talking about refined sugar. Are you addicted to sugar or having sugar overload? If you want to lose weight and maintain a healthy and slim body then seriously cut down on sugar intake. Some example here, like ice-cream, sweet dessert, cakes and carbonated drinks. Give it a serious thought.
