Glucose is the main source of energy that constantly replenished through simple carbohydrates. When there is a shortage of glucose the body accommodates into its glucose energy reserve to ensure adequate levels of blood sugar. Glucose is stored mostly in the liver & in smaller amounts in muscles as a molecule known as Glycogen. Glycogen is broken down & released into the blood stream. As the body continues to use its reserves, Glucose does so at the expense of proteins in the muscles, weakening them by damaging the muscle tissues, depriving the brain of its glucose requirement, & reducing levels of glucose in the red blood cells.
Fiber from the carbohydrates keeps the bowel functioning smooth & reduces the risk of digestive system complications. Preventing ketosis is another important cause to include carbohydrates in a healthy diet. Ketosis is a serious condition that occurs when our diet is very low in carbohydrates, resulting in raised levels of chemicals is said to be as ketones in the blood as the body turns to fat for energy. Carbohydrates also aid in consumption of other nutrients.
