Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates, or carbs, are sugar molecules. Along with proteins and fats, carbohydrates are one of three main nutrients found in foods and drinks. Your body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose. Glucose, or blood sugar, is the main source of energy for your body’s cells, tissues, and organs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates provide the body with glucose, which is converted to energy used to support bodily functions and physical activity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Complex carbohydrates are made up of lots of sugars combined together. Sources of complex carbohydrates that will give you long-lasting energy include whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Popcorn, brown rice, wild rice, quinoa, barley, oatmeal, bulgur and buckwheat are examples of whole grains.
