Carbohydrates are foods whose chemical constitution is formed by a molecule of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Its function is to contribute to the storage and obtaining of energy, especially to the brain and the nervous system.
Thanks to an enzyme called amylase, the carbohydrate molecule (also called carbohydrate) breaks down, allowing the body to use it as fuel.
They are macronutrients
Carbohydrates are important macronutrients that must be obtained through diet because our bodies can not produce them on their own. However, its quality must be taken into account.
The healthiest sources of carbohydrates are those that do not have any human process, that is, they are in their purest state. For example, whole grains, vegetables and fruits.
The least healthy sources are the most industrialized, refined flours, sweets, cakes, sugary soft drinks, etc.

DO YOU GO IF ANY FAMILY FRIEND OR TRAINER TELLS YOU TO ELIMINATE OR STOP EATING YOUR CARBOHYDRATES BECAUSE? HERE I EXPLAIN TO YOU
You must include carbohydrates daily in your diet to obtain adequate energy. The main function of carbohydrates is to give energy to the human body. When carbohydrates are consumed, the body converts most of them to glucose, which is the only fuel that can nourish and energize the cells and muscles of the brain. Without carbohydrates, the body does not work properly
Carbohydrates are important for your health. Inadequate intake of carbohydrates can cause:
to. Weakness, reluctance and sleep.
second. Decrease in physical and mental performance.
do. Detention in the growth of children and adolescents.
re. Constipation.
. If your diet contains the optimum amount of carbohydrates, you can avoid the accumulation of fat in your body. There are people who seek to achieve or maintain an adequate weight, wrongly eliminate foods rich in carbohydrates. You should not eliminate foods to maintain a healthy weight, what you should take care of are the amounts you consume in total from each group of foods, because eating too much (either carbohydrates, proteins or fats) will contribute to weight gain.
Among the foods that are a good source of carbohydrates are:
to. All foods made with cereal grains such as wheat, corn, oats, rye and rice. Among which we can highlight Pan Bimbo, tortillas, pastas, cookies and cereal bars.
second. All fruits and vegetables.
do. Legumes, that is, beans, beans, lentils, chickpeas and soybeans.
re. Tubers such as potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Fiber, composed of a type of carbohydrate, helps the intestines work properly. Fiber is an important part of a healthy and balanced diet. It favors intestinal transit, prevents constipation and it has been shown that some forms of fiber reduce cholesterol levels. Many people do not get enough fiber by eliminating carbohydrate foods from their diet.
Remember that to maintain an adequate weight and acquire a healthy lifestyle there is no magic formula, the important thing is to take care of your diet and perform physical activity daily.
The correct amount of carbohydrates depends on the age, sex and daily activity of the person. People who require more energy either because of age or physical activity need more energy. 60% of the calories in the diet should be carbohydrates (represents an average of 130 g of carbohydrates), 1 g of carbohydrates provides 4 kcal. Of the total ingested carbohydrates, 20% must be simple and 70% complex.
