Nutrition
Carbohydrates
Glucose simplest sugar found primary in plan based foods
Monst desirable form of energy
Body always wants to use most absorbable easiest to use
Eventually some systemsbreakdown
Veggies are much easier to digest
If body consumes 500g of carbs burning same as consume dont gain weight
Body will use some but leftivers become fat
Have fat storage
Body can only store so much....via gycogen
Have to eat healthy carbohydrates
Photosynthesis
Plants / leaves stored carbohydrates. -glucose stored as startch
Good carbs vs bd carbs
Bad have a lot of starchbut no real nutrition
Anything in excess. Stored in the form of fat
Glucose in plants starch
In animals glycogen
In tge end in order tobe bsorbed in body it must be in form of glucse
Glucagon and insulin control blood sugar are the hormones that control blood sugar - in respect to diabetes
Glycogenolysis breakdown of glycogen into glucose when blood stream sugar lvl gets low
Glucagon released by pancreas
Glycogen broken down into glucose
It is from the muscles and liver
Glycogen in liver isbroken down
Glyconeogensis
Creation of glucose
Glycogon must be released for glyconeogenisis to occur
Simple vs complex carbs
Good give nutrition give vitaminsvnd minerals
Bad give only energy anda spike in blood sugar
Bad are mono- and di-sacarides
Maltose glucose+glucose
Sucrose glucose+ fructose
Lactose glucose+ galactose
( all components are monosaccarides)
With fruits you do get some good
Getsome fiber nd nutrients
1 cookie takes 20 minutes to work it off
Complex carbs
Polysaccarides
Long chains linked tpgether
Complex
Starch
Storage in plants
Amylose straightchains of glucose unit
Amylopectin branches out nota single chain glycogen in animals
Fiber
Amylopectin h a s more exposure to the amylase
Fiber fermentation? Happens in large intestine
Ie :Cellulose hemicellulose foundin plants stalks
