Carbohydrates

There are two types of carbohydrates, SIMPLE and COMPLEX carbohydrates.

Simple carbohydrates, like table sugar, contain little chains of 2 molecules. This type of sugar is easily broken down and absorbed in our bodies because they have only two links to break.

Complex carbohydrates, on the other hand, have more chains and molecules. It takes longer to break it down into useful energy.

Which is better for you?

COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES, of course. It breaks down more slowly and gives you a long term energy. Besides that, complex carbo is also useful in other ways. For example, vegetables are complex carbohydrate. They contain FIBER. Fiber Slows down the conversion of carbo into blood sugar.

Blood sugar (aka Glucose) is stored in the form of a substance called glycogen and glycogen is a source of energy.
