Complex Carbohydrates

Slide 11

The Role Of Carbohydrates Your body converts all carbs to Glucose Your body converts all carbs to Glucose A simple sugar thats the main source of energy for our bodies A simple sugar thats the main source of energy for our bodies The glucose that is not used is stored in the liver and muscles as a starch-like substance called; glycogen. The glucose that is not used is stored in the liver and muscles as a starch-like substance called; glycogen. When your body needs more energy the glycogen is converted back to glucose. When your body needs more energy the glycogen is converted back to glucose. Excess carbs taken in and not used are converted to body fat Excess carbs taken in and not used are converted to body fat

Fiber helps move waste through the digestive system and helps prevent against constipation. Fiber helps move waste through the digestive system and helps prevent against constipation. Why fiber reduces the risk of early death is unclear. Perhaps it's because fiber lowers levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol, improves blood glucose levels, reduces inflammation, and binds to potential cancer-causing agents, helping to flush them out of the body, says lead author Yikyung Park, a staff scientist at the National Cancer Institute.
