Not all carbohydrates are the same, and knowing the difference between simple and complex carbs can help you make healthier food choices.

Simple Carbs:

• These are sugars that give you a quick burst of energy.
• Examples include candy, soda, and baked treats.
• While they can give you energy fast, they can also make your blood sugar drop later, leaving you feeling tired.

Complex Carbs:

• You can find these in whole grains, beans, and vegetables.
• They take longer to digest, which means they can give you energy for a longer time and help you feel full.

From my own experience, adding more complex carbs to my meals has really boosted my energy. So, when you go grocery shopping next time, try to pick out whole food options to keep you fueled throughout the day!
