What Are Carbohydrates?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Carbohydrates are the sugars, starches and fiber found in fruits, grains, vegetables and milk products. Although it is often vilified in trendy diets that carbohydrates are not healthy, however, carbohydrates are one of the basic food groups that are important to our healthy diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The glycemic index and glycemic load<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is about the speed that we can metabolize different carbohydrates. It all starts with the glycemic index and glycemic loads of different foods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The glycemic index<\/strong> (GI) indicates how quickly carbohydrates are converted to sugar when you eat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The<\/strong> glycemic load<\/strong> is another measure of how carbohydrates are digested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load<\/strong> work together to describe how your body digests carbohydrates and estimate how your body handles carbohydrates. A food with both a high glycemic index and a high glycemic load can raise your blood sugar levels than your body can handle. As a result of which hormones and metabolism are disrupted and body fat rises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast vs slow carbohydrates<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There are simple or fast carbohydrates and complex or slow carbohydrates. The difference between the two forms is the chemical structure and how quickly the sugar is absorbed and digested. In general, simple carbohydrates are digested and absorbed faster and more easily than complex carbohydrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
