How to Spot Hidden Sugars 🔎

▾
According to PDRI 2015, the recommended consumption of simple sugars is less than 10% of the total energy per day. As for reference, if an individual's energy intake is 1600 Calories per day, his or her sugar intake is only limited to 160 Calories or equivalent to 40 grams, or 8 teaspoons of sugar respectively.

▾
Why is excessive consumption of sugar bad for you?

▾
If we consume excessive amount of sugar, our body will store the excess energy as fat, and this may lead to tooth decay, being overweight or obese, and development of Type 2 diabetes.

▾
Thus, it is important to check the sugar content of food items using the Nutrition Labels. Uncertain on how to read Nutrition Labels? Check this post: https://www.facebook.com/112302587155197/photos/a.122533706132085/130636505321805/?type=3&theater

Mindful Eating 💭

▾
Before we proceed to the definition of Mindful Eating, let me first ask you.. Why do we eat? 🍴

▾
According to Wansik, B. (2010), we eat to satisfy our Physical Hunger and Emotional Hunger. Physical hunger is when you feel the sensation that you need to eat in order to nourish your body. Emotional hunger, on the other hand, is not real hunger. It is the habit of eating to soothe uncomfortable feelings.

▾
In order to be guided with these types of hunger, let's define Mindful Eating. Mindful Eating is about opening the minds’ awareness to our food and to the body before, during, and after we eat; Mindfulness is an experience that engages all parts of us: our body, our heart, and our mind in choosing, preparing, and eating food.

Glycemic Index (GI) Chart 🍏

▾
In the previous post on “Eating with the Glycemic Index in Mind”, the use of GI is briefly introduced. For this post, our attention will remain on this topic but will give emphasis on the GI chart of commonly consumed carbohydrates in our diet.

✍🏻
KEYNOTE:
✔︎The GI ranks food on a scale from one to 100; the higher the GI, the faster and farther blood sugar levels increase after eating the food.

✔︎Food with a GI of 55 or lower are referred to as low-GI food. This includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, regular oatmeal, beans, nuts, and dairy items.

✔︎Food with a GI between 56 and 75 are referred to as having a moderate GI and includes pasta, corn, and white flour products.

✔︎High-GI food has a GI greater than 76 and includes foods with highly processed grains such as cookies, instant oatmeal, and cornflakes, as well as candy.

▾
Get to know the glycemic index of your food - listed in order of increasing GI levels - by browsing through the following photos.

▾
📗GREEN indicates LOW GI FOOD
📒YELLOW implies MODERATE GI FOOD
📕RED suggests HIGH GI FOOD

Eating with the Glycemic Index in Mind 💭

▾
The Glycemic Index (GI) is a tool used to measure how a particular food affects one’s blood sugar levels. High-GI foods raise blood sugar the most, while low-GI foods raise it the least.

▾
Though not always the case, the more processed a whole grain food is, the higher the GI. Processing breaks food down into a more refined, and therefore less whole, the grain is. Refined grains are digested much quicker than whole ones, so blood sugar is impacted sooner compared to the slow and steady digestion of less processed grains. Cutting refined sugar is a key intervention in keeping one’s blood sugar in control.
