Detailed explanation-1: -Complex carbohydrates-or starches-have longer-chained sugars and fiber, and they take longer to digest.
Detailed explanation-2: -Complex Carbohydrates or polysaccharides contain longer chains of sugar (starches) and non-digestible fiber. Because of this they are harder to digest and take longer to raise blood sugar.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fiber content: High-fiber foods don’t contain as much digestible carbohydrate, so it slows the rate of digestion and causes a more gradual and lower rise in blood sugar.
Detailed explanation-4: -Soluble fibre and blood glucose levels The slowing down of passage through the digestive gives digestive hormones more time to act and by forming a gel with water, soluble fibre prevents carbohydrate from being so quickly absorbed by the small intestine.
