Carbohydrates, which are sugars, are an essential part of a healthy diet.They provide the main
source of energy for the body, and they also function to flavor and sweeten foods. Carbohydrates
range from simple sugars like glucose to complex sugars such as amylose and amylopectin.
Nutritionists estimate that carbohydrates should make up about one-fourth to one-fifth of a person's
diet. This translates to about 75-100 grams of carbohydrates per day.
A diet that is deficient in carbohydrates can have an adverse effect on a person's health. When the
body lacks a sufficient amount of carbohydrates it must then use its protein supplies for energy, a
process called gluconeogenesis. This, however, results in a lack of necessary protein, and further
health difficulties may occur. A lack of carbohydrates can also lead to ketosis, a build-up of ketones in
the body that causes fatigue, lethargy, and bad breath.

TIME FOR COFFEE
The story of coffee drinking is one of the greatest and most fascinating in history. Millions of
coffee drinkers worldwide cannot imagine life without a cup of aromatic coffee in the morning. Coffee
is a natural stimulant which makes us feel more awake, alert and ready to concentrate.
The qualities of mocca, as coffee was once known, were first discovered in Ethiopia more than one
thousand years ago. However, it was not Africans but Turks and Arabs who actively encouraged
coffee drinking. The habit of coffee drinking quickly spread throughout the Arab world, where coffee
won a reputation as the wine of Islam.
Coffee was first grown in Yemen. It was popular with Turks who served the drink to visiting Italian
merchants. In 1615 traders from Venice brought coffee to Europe, where it was originally sold as a
medicine.
By the end of the sixteenth century coffee was drunk in major European cities from Paris to
London. Now, around the world there are different methods of preparing coffee, for example, in
Turkey coffee is traditionally boiled three times while Italians are the inventors of espresso and
cappuccino.
We drink coffee because of its aroma, taste and stimulating effect. However, extensive
consumption of coffee may be harmful to our health, for instance, it may increase one's blood pressure
or make one's heart beat irregularly. Fortunately, new brands of coffee have been appearing on the
market recently. As they do not contain substances harmful to health, many people will not have to
give up their coffee-drinking habits.
