someone recently other question how does

consuming sweets and refined

carbohydrates actually pull nutrients

out of the body so the first question is

what do nutrients actually do in the

body one of the main functions is that

they actually act as a CO helper in

metabolism okay and I’m talking about

the burning of fuel so what happens when

you consume calories without the

nutrients your body then has to pull

from its reserves certain nutrients to

burn that fuel or make that tissue so in

the example of burning glucose you need

vitamin b1 you need potassium you need

magnesium so these three nutrients are

vitally important in making energy also

you need zinc so anytime you consume

sugar you’re pulling these nutrients out

and you’re depleting your reserves and

this is why sometimes after you consume

a high carbohydrate meal your heart beat

goes up that’s a that’s a potassium

deficiency and that is a b1 deficiency

or for example you start holding fluid

you get like swollen ankles that is a

low potassium high sodium ratio so now

we have too much salt vs. potassium we

just hold fluid and then of course the

magnesium you can end up with insomnia

you can end up with anxiety you can end

up with feeling stressed so after a

carbohydrate meal if you have this

anxiety for example that could be a

combination of low b1 and magnesium now

zinc deficiencies are involved in so

many things if this becomes too low

you’re gonna find the testosterone goes

down your immune system goes down you

may even lose your taste or your smell

with a zinc deficiency now as far as

vitamin C goes the chemical molecule of

vitamin C is very very similar to

glucose and if given the choice if you

had sugar and vitamin C there in your

body your body is going to accept the

sugar one instead of the vitamin C so

too much glucose will deplete your

vitamin C

so that’s one mechanism right here the

second mechanism is when you consume

sugar over a period of time or refined

carbs you’re raising your glucose you’re

raising your insulin you’re eventually

going to develop something called

insulin resistance now when you have

insulin resistance you not only have a

difficult time absorbing glucose in the

cell you also have a difficult time

absorbing other things as well like

amino acids like vitamins and like

minerals and this is why people that are

pre-diabetic and are diabetic usually

have a lot of nutritional deficiencies

and they have a lot of complications

with their nerves with their eyes with

their kidneys with your heart and that

has to do with the low amount of

nutrients that are able to pull in there

now if you were diabetic and you were

consuming nutrient-dense foods you would

have a lot less complications all right

so now you understand why consuming the

refined sugars and the grains will

deplete your vitamins and other

nutrients as well thanks for watching
