Carbohydrates: Complementary Actions

Carbohydrates provide essential energy for daily bodily activities.
There are two types of carbohydrates: simple (sugars) and complex (starches and fibers).
Simple carbohydrates are quickly absorbed and provide rapid energy.
Complex carbohydrates, like whole grains and vegetables, take longer to digest and offer sustained energy.
Balanced intake of both simple and complex carbohydrates is crucial for maintaining energy, supporting growth, and fueling the brain and muscles.
Dietary fibre, a type of complex carbohydrate, aids in digestion, promotes fullness, contributes to healthy weight and overall well-being.
