Knowing your nutrients and keeping track of your carbs

The foods you eat provide the nutrients your body needs to stay heathy. Each type of food has a different job to do in your body.

Carbohydrates (“carbs”)

Are the main kind of food that raises blood sugar levels. That’s why it’s important to be aware of the amount of carbohydrates you eat
Simple carbohydrates, or sugar, will begin to raise blood sugar very soon after you eat them
Complex carbohydrates, or starchy foods, take longer for the body to change into sugar but will eventually be changed completely to sugar
