No More Carb Loading – and Other Past Beliefs About Health

There’s a really nice article over at Diabetes Health that talks about exercise in general. It lists some common misconceptions and I think it’s important to recognize these. The way we understand the body has changed so much over the last several years, and that includes exercise.

My husband and I laugh about the “carb loading” days of old, where you ate tons of pasta and then abused your body some more by running your fool head off! Just think about our bodies having to digest tons of carbs and then exercise heavily to put more pressure on it. And that was just a few years ago!

Today, we have learned that being healthy means more about balance than anything else. A diabetic life today is one that includes balance, and not extremes.
