Choose "Good" Carbs Over "Bad"
Carbs, or carbohydrates, have taken a lot of heat lately so don’t be confused: They are important for your diet. “Good” carbs are complex carbohydrates. They have more fiber, take longer to break down into glucose (blood sugar), and are packed with vitamins and minerals.
Eat More Fiber to Lower Your Heart Disease Risk
Fiber helps your body to slow down digestion, which means you also slow down the delivery of glucose (blood sugar) to the blood stream. This is a good thing. Less insulin released means less opportunity for your body to store belly fat. Aim for at least 25 grams of fiber a day from fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, brown rice, and whole grain bread, cereal, and pasta.
