Studies Found 4 Carbs You Want To Include In Your Diet

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Since the Robert Atkins diet was first released in 1972, we are limiting the amount of carbs in our diet. Atkins suggested that one should ditch carbs in order to lose weight, relying on proteins and fats. This old trend was reinforced when the Paleo diet emerged, promoting a hunter-gatherer meal plan.

But a study published as The Quarterly Review Of Biology suggests that humanity had been ditching carbs for too long and way before they knew what are the long term effects of this change for the human body. The authors of the study say that carbs bring us important minerals and vitamins, which can’t be found in other type of food.

If you want to have a balanced diet and reap the benefits of the carbs, you should include these ones in your diet.

Purple potatoes for your cardiovascular health

The purple potato should be part of any weight loss diet, as it contains loads of antioxidants. These are the ones which protect us from free radicals and post pone aging. But the real deal is these colored potatoes contain lots of potassium, which reduces blood pressure. However, the trick is not to over-cook the potatoes, nor serve them with foods that can increase the number of calories they have. A simple purple potato has 110 calories, but if you drown it in butter, mayo or another sauce, it will double or triple its calorie count. To make sure you are not destroying the antioxidants or the potassium, steam or boil the potatoes.

Buckwheat and its whole-awe-someness

Buckwheat is usually used as a healthy switch for flour, so the seed is mistaken with a grain. Buckwheat is actually a seed, which can be the base ingredient for noodles, pasta or batters. You want to include it in your diet because its loaded with fibers, which keep you full for long periods of time and promote regular bowel movements. Buckwheat also contains essential amino acids and proteins, so it’s a great ingredient to rely on during weight loss programs.

Kidney beans help you lose weight

Kidney beans contain high amounts of soluble fibers, which help you feel full for long time and prevent overeating. Another healthy substance found in beans is iron. A third the world’s population is anemic, meaning they lack the required amount of iron needed to produce red blood cells and the hemoglobin, which carries the oxygen around the body, nourishing the cells. You can easily combat anemia, which is very common in overweight people, by eating kidney beans on regular basis. If you have trouble finding a way to eat kidney beans, you need to know they can be added to salads, just like other types of beans.

Butternut squash helps your eyesight

Butternut squash contains high amounts of vitamins A and C. Beta carotene, or the vitamin A, which gives the butternut squash the vivid orange color, gives you a better eyesight. The vitamin A is fat soluble and is keeps the soft tissues in top shape and your skin glowing. Besides that, butternut squash contains lots f potassium and fibers, so it also promotes a healthy cardiovascular system and regular bowel movements.

All in one, giving up on a type of food is a radical and extreme thing to do, which deprives you of important nutrients. There are indeed carbs which should be avoided, such as white bread, but giving up on all carbs can lead to health issues, so try to embrace some of the healthy carbs in this list and include them in your diet.
