Improve your healthy diet with carbs

Here are some ideas on how you can improve your healthy diet with complex carbohydrates:

• Choose corn or whole grain tortillas, instead of flour tortillas.

• Use whole wheat or whole grain pasta / noodles, instead of refined white pasta / noodles.

• Go for whole grain bread. Leave the refined white bread on the shelf.

• Prefer unpolished rice over white rice.

• Snack on whole, fibrous fruits. Ignore those hotdogs, sweets, and glazed pastries.

• Pick yams over white potatoes.

• Get whole grain crackers, instead of butter crackers.

• Buy or bake pizza with whole grain pizza dough.

• When choosing muffins and similar pastries, select those made from whole grains, nuts, and berries, instead of white flour and sugars.

• Pick those with low sodium, zero trans fats, zero preservatives (especially sodium nitrite, which causes cancer), and zero additives (like monosodium glutamate [MSG]). Some products are labelled as healthy but have high sodium content, which is not good for your blood pressure.

• Share this with your relatives and friends.

Info bits: The American Heart Association says that diets high in carbohydrates, with carbs accounting for more than 60% of the total caloric intake, can increase triglyceride levels.
