Diabetes is also a well-known cause of male impotence. Scared? You should be. It's estimated that there are another 8 million Americans who suffer from some form of diabetes and don't even know it! The Good News Now take a deep breath. There is a proven way to get your body to reduce the amount of fat-storing insulin and promote the release of fat-burning glucagon. And you don't need expensive prescription medicines or prepackaged meals. The secret is to eat the right combination of everyday foods, in the right amounts, at the right times. HOW TO COMBINE FOODS CORRECTLY Whether your goal is to decrease your body fat, increase your energy, or get sick less often, the key to success starts with the proper combination of food. Your body has the complex task of managing a host of intricate func- tions to promote life and harmony. To do this, it needs fuel. The body extracts fuel through a highly complex series of chemical re- actions that begins with the digestion of food. Smaller compounds formed from the breakdown of food are then metabolized into the simple com- pounds water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen, which are easily disposed of by the body. This process of metabolism creates fuel for the body. One simple analogy to your body's metabolism would be starting a fire in the fireplace. The log or wood would represent food, the heat of the fire would represent the energy produced, and the ash would represent the dis- posable by-product. All food is composed of macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and fat), micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), and water. Apart from water, food is made up primarily of macronutrients. Macronutrients are the only food components that provide food energy, measured in calories, to main- tain life. Carbohydrates are various forms of simple sugars linked together in polymers (chains). Carbohydrates are found in the form of bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, fruits, juices, vegetables, and sweets. When you eat carbohy- drate-rich foods, your body converts them into glucose, also known as blood sugar. The human body requires very little carbohydrate other than the amount needed for additional calories to provide energy and to nour- ish the tissues that require it: the red blood cells, parts of the eye, the kid- neys, and the brain. Protein comes in the form of beef, pork, and poultry; fish and seafood; soy protein, nuts, and dairy products such as eggs and cheese. Protein is made of amino acids, the building blocks that your body uses to make up your lean body mass (muscles), hair, skin, nails, and eyes. Nine of these amino acids, known as the essential amino acids, cannot be synthesized by your body and must be supplied by a high-quality protein. Fat is found in high amounts in dairy products, such as butter, cheese, and eggs. We also see it on the edge of red meat, and it's found in nuts and oils. The important thing to know is that fat does not make you fat! In fact, you need the right kind of fat in your diet in the right amount to burn body fat and produce the hormones that are essential to good health.
