Carbs... Are They Good Or Bad?



Ah, yes.... Carbs. I sure do love those things! The question is though, are they good for us or are they bad? Keep reading to find out!

So there are two types of these guys. There are your complex carbs and your simple carbs. Which one do you think would be the better choice? If you guessed complex, then you're right! Complex carbs are the ones you want to feed your body with because they are full of all those nutrient-rich fibers which our bodies crave. Simple carbs, on the other hand, are filled with a bunch of unnecessary sugars that can be harmful to us. How, you might be wondering? Well... They actually digest really quickly and the energy from these particular carbs is stored as glycogen and if not used quickly is also stored as fat. This is why staying away from processed foods, soda (and any sugary drinks) as well as alcohol, is a good idea. Although, treating yourself once in a while isn't too detrimental to your health, make sure to get in a bit of exercise to burn off any bad fats you may have consumed.

If you're curious as to what you should be eating so you can get your complex carbs in, well... That would be all your natural foods that are grown fresh from the ground provided by this place we call earth. When we consume foods that are naturally grown, our bodies have a positive reaction to them, therefore making it easier for us to function properly. Feed the body with toxic things, and you will become a walking, toxic mess on legs.

Think of it this way for a moment, the complex carbs are the good guys trying to keep us alive and healthy, and the simple carbs are the bad guys trying to destroy us by keeping in all those toxins as stored fat. Well, we don't want those toxins being stored inside us, so what we need to do is eat a diet that consists of things such as fruits, veggies, grains, and nuts. This dramatically changes the way our bodies work. Eat and live an unhealthy lifestyle though, and this will have adverse effects.

Pros of eating healthy:

 -Prolonged Life
-Better Metabolism
-Helps Fight Depression
-More Energy
-Better Sleep
-Better Cognitive Function
-Increases Intellectual Knowledge
-Increases Sex Drive
-Fights Diseases(Builds A Stronger Immune System)

Cons Of Eating Unhealthy:

-Makes you lazy and tired-like literally almost all the time (Trust me...I used to be one of those people)
-Slow metabolism
-Causes weight gain
-Weakens Immune System
-Higher risk of obtaining diseases or cancers
-Causes skin breakouts like acne and hives
-Dry skin

-Decreased sex drive
-Capability to function decreases
-Longevity of life decreases dramatically
-Causes Weakness
-Hopelessness
-Irritability
-Digestive Issues
-Causes heart problems
-Stress
- It basically ruins your life.

Ok! So now that I've given you the pros and cons... What do you think would be the better choice? I know you're smart enough to figure it out. You also now know what your complex V.S your simple carbs are. Remember, if you're going to indulge in a tasty treat or a meal heavily loaded with bad sugars and fats, you have to get your butt in gear by working it off with some HIIT or an intense exercise of some sort. Don't want to let that fat win! You must defeat it... You must let it beg for mercy and forgiveness...then just torch it until there is nothing left! Make fat regret the day it decided to stay in your body. Muahaha!

Haha, well I think I'll end it here. Until next time, take care ladies!

How To Get Rid Of Bloat

Image
You know that thing that happens when you've consumed a big meal or perhaps drank water too quickly and then you literally look like some woman who suddenly just became like 7 months pregnant? Yeah. That's called bloat...and it sucks! But it happens to the best of us. After all, we're only human. No worries though, I'm about to give you some awesome tips that will really float your "bloat"...I mean boat. Hah, sorry...couldn't resist. Before I tell you how to get rid of bloat, first let me explain to you what it is, why and how it happens.  So basically what it is, is a build up of gasses in the abdominal area causing swelling of the stomach or increase of diameter in that area. The unfortunate thing with this is that it can make us feel very uncomfortable. Why? Well because not only can it make a person feel gassy, but it also takes its evil role in giving us abdominal cramps. As if we don't get enough of that each month...right ladies? Luck...

Zumba- So Much Fun! But Is It Effective?

Image
Hey, all! Today I want to talk a about a form of cardio that I find to be so much fun! For months I was working my ass off running on cardio machines putting in so much effort, and yeah I'm sure it was effective, but did I enjoy it? Not really. I found it to be boring and time just seemed to go by so slowly. At last, I found something different...something I could actually make a habit of doing. That of course, is Zumba! Zumba is for absolutely everyone and for those of all fitness levels. There are classes for beginners all the way up to intermediate. Usually, classes are about an hour long and people attend them about 3 times a week. As you may know, this specific kind of cardio is a form of dance allowing you to let loose and just have fun with it no matter how funny you might look. It takes time to get down all the moves, but once you get the hang of it, you'll understand just why I love Zumba so much! Personally, for myself...I prefer dancing in my own home where...
