Are all carbohydrates the same? Not really! To have a healthy diet, it’s important to know that not all carbs are created equal. Here’s what I’ve learned:

Types of Carbohydrates

1. Simple Carbs:

   • These are found in sweets and sugary drinks.
   • They raise your blood sugar quickly, giving you a burst of energy, but then you might crash afterward.

2. Complex Carbs:

   • These are found in whole grains, beans, and vegetables.
   • They take longer to digest, giving you steady energy and important nutrients.

The Good vs. The Bad

• Good Carbs:
  • Whole grains like brown rice and quinoa
  • Fruits & vegetables that are full of fiber and vitamins
• Bad Carbs:
  • Refined grains like white bread and pastries
  • Added sugars found in sodas and candies

Balancing Act

Mixing in good carbs can help your body work well. Try to include complex carbs to keep your energy steady and support your health. So, while carbs are important, choosing the right types really makes a difference!
