Say yes to complex carbohydrates

• May 4, 2024

The carbohydrates , just like any other food, such as proteins or fats , are necessary for the proper functioning of the organism. However, you should prefer the complex carbohydrates to the simple ones, since these will not cause you to gain weight.

The expert in health and sports matter, Dr. Jorge Lara indicates that carbohydrates are necessary for the body to be active and alert, but should be consumed in moderation:

"Complex carbohydrates are honey, potatoes, pasta and whole grains. This type of food, if consumed in a moderate way, will not make you gain weight. "

Goodbye to refined sugar  

However, Dr. Lara states that simple carbohydrates such as refined sugar, found in breads, soft drinks and chocolates are products that should be limited.

According to the doctor, fruit is one of the freshest and most nutritious foods, but being a natural carbohydrate, intake should also be limited:

"Most of the fruits are rich in sugars and the excess of these are translated into fat in the body that must necessarily burn, otherwise it stores it".
