The Simple Truth: A healthy way of eating is to consume natural, non-man-made carbohydrates from vegetables, fruits, nuts/seeds, beans and legumes. They have a low glycemic index (meaning they do not raise your blood sugar) since they contain fiber, and are full of vitamins, minerals and nutrients to enhance your health... and there's nothing mythical about that!


P.E. Students:  click on the link above to read more about different types of carbohydrates in our diet and some suggestions/ myth busting advice.


Respond in your journal to any of the myths/ and suggestions and specifically how this applies to what you eat, and/or plan to eat in the future.

  1. this article really opened my eyes about carbs. I was never really sure how much i needed of proteins, sugars, etc. It's good to know that I understand one more thing about healthy eating!
