What is the difference between simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates in our bodies.
Simple carbohydrates need minimal digestion and metabolizing. They go fairly directly into our bloodstream. we get a quick boost of energy then a big drop. Complex carbohydrates need to be digested and metabolize more slowly providing us with a more even supply of energy.
