What Foods Should I Avoid?
Excessive consumption of high-glycemic carbohydrates is the
primary culprit in nutritionally caused health problems. High glycemic carbohydrates
are those that raise blood sugar too rapidly. They include rice, bread, candy,
potato, sweets, sodas, and most processed carbohydrates. Processing can include
bleaching, baking, grinding, and refining. Processing of carbohydrates greatly
increases their glycemic index, a measure of their propensity to elevate blood
sugar.
What is the Problem with High-Glycemic Carbohydrates?
The problem with high-glycemic carbohydrates is that they give
an inordinate insulin response. Insulin is an essential hormone for life, yet
acute, chronic elevation of insulin leads to hyperinsulinism, which has been
positively linked to obesity, elevated cholesterol levels, blood pressure, mood
dysfunction and a Pandora's box of disease and disability. Research "hyperinsulinism"
on the Internet. There's a gold mine of information pertinent to your health
available there. The CrossFit prescription is a low-glycemic diet and
consequently severely blunts the insulin response.
