Obese can also because of excessive sugar consumption

Sugar

Excessive sugar consumption, especially if not balanced with fiber consumption and physical activity, of course would be impact is not good for health. In the long term, these conditions can raises sugar metabolism disorders up to the cellular level. 

Which of course will have an impact on the condition of certain organs in the body. Thus described by Dr. Mahesa Paranadipa, MH, the Supervisory Board of Echo Conscious Nutrition Foundation. In addition, "excessive sugar intake is not needed by the body will be stored as body fat reserves," added Dr. Prawita Tirta Sari, MSc, Sp.GK., Chairman of the Foundation for Conscious Nutrition Society Movement.

So, the actual not consumption of excess fat only, which become the problem of obesity. Intake of sugar or excessive carbohydrates can also accumulating fat in the body. Based on the biochemical mechanisms of the body, every excess intake of carbohydrates will be stored as fat. Therefore be clear, excess carbohydrates plays a role in the occurrence of obesity.

Interestingly, obesity is not just happening in the high socioeconomic group. But also in lower socioeconomic groups. Even according to Dr. Tirta, waist circumference in both groups also not far different. This condition occurs because fulfillment the needs of carbohydrate for lower socioeconomic groups is not a difficult thing. This nation familiar with the pattern of high consumption of carbohydrates.

Eat with rice of full plate with a bit of a side dish become picture that is often found. Satisfying on taste of hungry is met through increased carbohydrate intake. Not with fat moreover quality of protein.

Now add only, its calories when they are accustomed to consume sweet drinks. Means that the quota already used 80 Kal. This is a minimal intake. Not yet again if consuming of bottled drinks or type of sweet snack that is usually high sugar content.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the intake of simple sugars (such as granulated sugar) should not exceed 10 percent of total energy intake. If the energy intake of 2000 Cal per day then the maximum limit the consumption of simple sugars are 200 Kal or 50 grams (equivalent to 5 tablespoons of granulated sugar).

Well, now try to calculate, how much sugar you consume today? Far below the recommended or even already excessive?
