African household have inexplicable bonds with swallow (morsel). West African staple is prepared from a variety of carbohydrate-rich source: Cassava, Yam, Plantain, Semolina, Rice, etc.
Regular intake of this morsel (swallow), is that while they are filling, they have a high carbohydrate count of about 79g of carbs per 100g of carbohydrate.
When eaten regularly, the body repeatedly receives high doses of carbohydrate, it takes the carbs it needs, and convert to fuel, the excess carbs are converted to glycogen for storage in the liver, muscle through the process of “glycogenesis”. When liver and muscles have had enough, any more carbs that you pump into your body results in extra glucose, which is then converted to fat and stored in placed like your love handles and your belly.
