It has long been believed that carbohydrates cause weight gain and are harmful. Such a statement is only partly true. The fact is that there are "bad" and "good" carbohydrates, and the difference between them is fundamental! If you think about it, carbohydrates are present in almost every product: in fruits and bread. So, fruits contain complex (good) carbohydrates, and candies contain simple (bad) carbohydrates!
Complex carbohydrates are necessary for our body

Mostly, "good" carbohydrates are found in vegetables, fruits, greens, whole grains, and bran.
Complex carbohydrates are the right kind of food because fruits and vegetables, thanks to their complex chemical structure and fiber, allow the body to spend the optimal amount of energy on their digestion. This achieves a smooth release of carbohydrates into the body, making such a source beneficial and proper!
Furthermore, products with complex carbohydrates bring enormous benefits to our body, including a range of vitamins and trace elements. They also support and strengthen the immune system, promoting active longevity!
Simple carbohydrates are not needed

Simple carbohydrates are found in confectionery products, white bread, carbonated drinks, and semi-finished products.
"Bad" carbohydrates are harmful because of their structure. They consist of simple sugar molecules that, once in the body, are instantly absorbed. Due to the rapid and significant sugar spike in the blood, the body experiences stress and immediately tries to "balance" the optimal glucose level by converting excess sugar into fat. That's why we quickly gain weight and overload our pancreas from sweet and tasty foods!
