This can be achieved through eating cereals, grains, starchy vegetables, legumes, fruit and dairy products.

Carbohydrates hold 17 kJ/g. ]]> 2021-08-18 04:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/xlin7355/72xd4b7st9p56ap0/wish/1683448419 Function meve7050 https://padlet.com/xlin7355/72xd4b7st9p56ap0/wish/1683466659 Carbohydrates are the bodies primary source of fuel. Simple and complex carbs are digested by the body into glucose to allow respiration in cells to occur. Glucose is either used by cells immediately or stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen until the body requires a top up of energy. In which case, stored glycogen is transformed back into glucose for the body. Majority of cells, particularly the brain and the CNS, rely solely on carbohydrates as an energy source. ]]> 2021-08-18 04:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/xlin7355/72xd4b7st9p56ap0/wish/1683466659 Structure meve7050 https://padlet.com/xlin7355/72xd4b7st9p56ap0/wish/1683479256 Carbohydrates are organic compounds made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Monosaccharides are the smallest building block of carbohydrates. 

Monosaccharides: Single sugar molecules
Disaccharides: Pairs of sugar molecules, one of which is a glucose molecule
Polysaccharides: Few or many glucose units linked together in straight or branching chains. 

The length of the chain affects how long the body takes to digest it. This is GI.

High GI foods cause a fast release of glucose causing blood glucose levels to spike before shortly crashing. Adjusting carbohydrate consumption around training/physical activity allows for optimum performance and recovery. ]]> 2021-08-18 05:01:56 UTC https://padlet.com/xlin7355/72xd4b7st9p56ap0/wish/1683499173
