1. Carbohydrates are simple and complex
These are organic chemicals made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. We can break them down into simple and complex carbohydrates. Depending on what kind of carbs we're dealing with, we can determine the effect of a given carb on our glucose levels after a meal. It's worth choosing complex carbs, because they don't cause violent increases in insulin levels in the blood.2. Carbohydrates in the diet
Carbohydrates play an important role in every organism's life. They are a major source of energy. They're also fuel for our brain. But it's important to keep in mind that when consumed in excess they can lead to obesity and other metabolic disorders. They also have storage, transport and building functions. They regulate the levels of many hormones in our bodies. Among other things, the thyroid hormone T4 - systox. Low blood carbohydrate levels increase the concentration of fatty acids, so that T4 in much lower levels is absorbed into the body by the liver.3. Limiting the carbohydrates
The benefits of reducing carbohydrates are mainly in the body. It's based on the assumption of a low-carb diet that I've been testing on myself. Because the body has to supplement its deficiency with fatty tissue, it burns up at a rapid rate. In the body angle, it means a rapid reduction. But when it comes to a healthy approach, it's definitely a better way to keep carbs at the right level.
