You’ve just woken up from your sweet nap feeling all fresh yet a little hungry. So you go into the kitchen and open your Liebherr, where you see two potential items for your snack time: Corn and a packet of bread. Which means, you can either have cheese corn balls or a sandwich. But, one of them consists of good (complex) carbs and the other bad (simple) carbs. Why is it necessary to pick the right carb? Willing to postpone snack time a little? Let us tell you why!
Carbs are a combination of fibre, sugar and starch. But that’s not it. There’s more to the world of carbs. Without further ado, let’s just get into it.
Complex Carbs:
The one with the right composition of nutrients. Fills your stomach quicker. Unlike problems, the more complex a carb, the better it is! Here’s why:
– Rich in nutrients
– Blood sugar levels don’t spike off easily
– Better & slower digestion
Simple Carbs:
The one with all the added sugars and unhealthy composition of elements. The simpler a carb, the more unhealthy it is. Here’s why:
– Low in nutrients
– High in raising blood sugar levels
– Quicker digestion results in frequent hunger pangs
Therefore, it is important to design our diet and include recipes that give us complex carbs. Don’t curb the carb intake, just take it right. Note down the recipes below for your reference.
