Tips in Comparing Unrefined and Refined Carbohydrates for Better Health

Article Category: Wellness, Fitness and Diet

Author Name: Steve Stannard

Carbohydrates are said to be bad for the health but the truth is the body needs some types of carbohydrates so as to be energetic every day. There are bad carbohydrates and these are refined and removed of nutrients. The good carbohydrates are unrefined and healthy and they make people maintain proper weight as they slow down the response of the insulin of the body and make people feel full. In this article are the tips in comparing these two and examples of foods that contain them.

In comparing unrefined and refined carbohydrates, you should know the terms related to refined carbohydrates like "enriched wheat flour" which is refined flour without much nutrients, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Unrefined carbohydrates have ingredients that are whole hence they are not stripped off of their nutrients.

It is vital to inspect your food's fiber content. Unrefined carbohydrates have a lot of fiber while the refined ones have less because when they are processed, the healthy fiber is removed.

Unrefined carbohydrates are really good for the health because they have fewer sugar. Refined carbohydrates have so much sugar because when carbohydrates are refined, it concentrates on its sugar.

You should always inspect the nutritional value of your food. There are refined carbs which give empty calories. This has very limited nutrients, antioxidants, good fats, vitamins and minerals.

Unrefined carbs can be obtained through whole grains because all of its parts are used such as its bran, endosperm and germ. When you buy whole grain breads, ensure that it has ingredients such as whole barley wheat, whole oat flour or whole wheat flour. There are also pastas that come from flour made of whole grain. Brown rice, couscous, oats, rye and wild oats are examples of unrefined carbohydrates. The less common ones are amaranth, bulgur, flaxseed, millet, wheat berries and spelt.

The nutritious germ and bran in refined grains are stripped off. Examples of refined carbohydrates which come from grains are most pastas, white rice and white flour. Most bread comes from refined grains such as whole wheat, multigrain and white bread.

It is best to consume unrefined carbohydrates which are found in fruits such as apples, bananas and pears and veggies such as kale, mustard greens and spinach as these are loaded with fiber, vitamins and minerals which are all good for the health. The natural sugars from fruits provide unrefined carbohydrates which slowly break down in the bloodstream. Sweeteners that are unrefined are usually yellowish or brownish and examples are barley malt, honey, molasses, rice syrup, Turbinado sugar and unrefined cane sugar. Other foods with unrefined carbohydrates that are fiber-enriched are nuts and beans.

Refined sweeteners are not healthy and an example would be white sugar which is usually found in cakes, cookies, ice cream, pastries and pies. When you add white sugar to your coffee or tea, this increases the amount of refined carbohydrates in your body. Instead of white sugar, it is best to opt for agave nectar, palm sugar, maize sugar, birch syrup or sorghum syrup.

For better health and a stronger and younger body, it is best to consume foods with unrefined carbohydrates.
