Causes of Simple Carbohydrates in Body
Carbohydrates are sugars which provide energy to all the cells in the body. There are two types of carbohydrates simple carbohydrates or the bad carbs and complex carbohydrates or the good carbs.
Bad carbs are food that have been refined or processed. Common examples include white sugar, white bread, white pastas, sodas and sweetened fruit juices. Bad carbohydrate foods are generally loaded with loads of artificial flavor, coloring, additives and preservatives. These foods are very attractive to any person as they are very tasty and packed attractively. But one should understand that these foods provide little of other vitamins, minerals and fiber most of which is removed in the refining process. Bad carbs can provide instant energy by causing insulin and blood glucose spike which is very unhealthy. More insulin in the body hinders the fat metabolism and more glucose in the body often get converted in to fats and stored in the body tissues.
Good carbs are basically found in whole cereals, grains, pulses, legumes and vegetables and take time to get digested in the body. Thus they release glucose slowly in the body and avoid any blood glucose spikes. For a healthy balanced diet focus more on complex carbs and avoid the bad carbs as far as possible.
