Complex Carbohydrates PERSONAL SUMARY: There is a very real difference between simple and complex carbohydrates. Let’s look at them. Simple carbohydrates‚ found in rice‚ pasta‚ white potatoes‚ and some dairy products‚ contain sugars that are broken down quickly by your body. This will provide your body with a quick burst of energy‚ but if the carbohydrates are not used quickly‚ the sugar will turn to fat. That’s why low-carb diets cut them out. But those diets often lump all carbs together

Carbon‚ Hydrogen and Oxygen. These three simple elements make up one of the most useful substances for many living organisms: Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are used for numerous processes in organisms from acting in important roles of cellular recognition in the human body to storing chemical energy in plants in the form or starch. The roles of carbohydrates in the human body alone are numerous; providing energy for working muscles‚ providing energy for the regulation of blood glucose‚ preventing

What are Carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are the sugars‚ starches‚ and fibers found in fruits‚ grains‚ vegetables and milk products. Carbohydrates are sugars that break down inside the body to create glucose. Glucose is moved around the body in the blood and is the primary source of energy for the brain‚ muscles‚ and other essential cells. There are two types of carbohydrates‚ simple and complex; Simple carbohydrates refer to sugars with a simple molecular construction of one or two parts. Because

essential carbohydrates needed for athletes‚ and the effects of consuming carbohydrates before and during competition is very important in helping with the enhancing of an athlete’s endurance and his or her exercise performance. It is critical for athletes to ingest a significant amount of carbohydrates in their bodies in order to compete at high performance levels. Carbohydrates are the main fuel source for our body‚ but as athletes we must know the difference between good and bad carbohydrates. Good

Carbohydrate and Diabetes Research NUR 115 AM The articles that I researched for this project were interesting and shed light on the relationship between carbohydrates and diabetes. Some of the information that I learned will be useful in my nursing career. Carbohydrates fill numerous roles in living things‚ such as the storage and transport of energy in the form of starch and glycogen etc. The basic carbohydrate units are called monosaccharides‚ such as glucose‚ galactose‚ and

substitutes; fats; free foods; combination foods; fast foods; and alcohol. Carbohydrate Counting When you eat a healthy meal or snack‚ it is usually a mixture of carbohydrate‚ pro- tein‚ and fat. However‚ your body changes carbohydrate into glucose faster than it changes protein and fat into glucose. It is the carbohydrate that makes your blood glucose level go up. In carbohydrate counting‚ you count foods that are mostly carbohydrate. These include starches (breads‚ cereals‚ pasta)‚ fruits and fruit
