Detailed explanation-1: -Carbs are different. They are broken down into sugars that, after making a quick stop in the liver, go into the bloodstream and become an immediate source of energy for the body’s cells to use. Because they’re short molecule chains, simple carbs are easy for your body to break down.
Detailed explanation-2: -Simple carbohydrates, or sugars, are made up of shorter chains of molecules and are quicker to digest than complex carbohydrates. This fact means that simple carbohydrates produce a spike in blood glucose, providing the body with a short-lasting source of energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Monosaccharides are the simplest carbs, in that your body cannot break them down further. This allows your body to absorb them quickly and easily, with the exception of fructose. There are three types of monosaccharides ( 1 ): Glucose: Fruits and vegetables are natural sources of glucose.
Detailed explanation-4: -Simple carbohydrates are broken down quickly by the body to be used as energy. Simple carbohydrates are found naturally in foods such as fruits, milk, and milk products. They are also found in processed and refined sugars such as candy, table sugar, syrups, and soft drinks.
Detailed explanation-5: -Complex carbohydrates include starches and fiber. Unlike their more simple counterparts, complex carbs contain many sugar units that are attached together via long and/or branched chains. These complicated molecules can be harder for your body to break down.
