Carbohydrate Balance

Discover how to determine the right amount of carbohydrates for your healthy lifestyle. Anything above 90 mg/dL in your bloodstream is already toxic to your body at the cellular level. People often don't realize that even consuming a small order of French fries, one cup of white rice, or an alternative like one cup of brown rice can still be harmful to our cells. They often reason, "Oh, I eat only a small amount of rice, just one cup," thinking they are following a low-carbohydrate diet. The exact amount of carbohydrates that keeps your cells healthy is 4 grams at a time which is equivalent to3 to 4 teaspoon of white rice ( 4 to 5 teaspoon of brown rice) or 1/5 loaf of bread (Fettke, G., 2021).

Carbohydrate Insights

Understanding carbohydrate intake for a balanced diet is crucial.

When we consume more than 4 grams of sugar at a time, it becomes toxic to our body at the cellular level. This is equivalent to 3 to 4 teaspoons of rice, 1/5 of a loaf of bread, or half a slice of mango. Most of us don't eat this amount at once, as it exceeds our normal consumption. However, our diets and the USDA's Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) contribute to making us sick and overweight. Additionally, consuming more than 0.6% of our RDA of Omega-6 fatty acids from seed oils is enough to trigger chronic diseases over time. Artificial sweeteners, toxins, herbicides, and pesticides also play a significant role in contributing to sickness.

I learned that moderation is key when it comes to carbohydrates. Great advice!
