Carbohydrates, also called sugars, are organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. They supply energy immediately and regulate the intestinal functions (alimentary fibre). 60% of the calories that we consume should come from foods rich in carbohydrates. This energy is very important for the nervous system and the brain, which need an adequate supply of glucose daily.
Among the carbohydrates we can distinguish those of slow absorption and those of rapid absorption according to the glycemic index which they have (depending on the time that elapses between consumption and the point at which they are used by the body).
