 MEAL EDUCATION PROGRAM

One of the primary purposes of carbohydrates in our diet is to provide

fuel for our bodies.

Most carbs get broken down or transformed into glucose, which can
be used as energy.
Carbs can also be turned into fat (stored energy) for later use .

The classification of carbohydrates into "good" or "bad" is a simplified

way to describe
their nutritional value and impact on health. Here's a breakdown:
 Good Carbs:
Complex Carbohydrates:
Found in: Whole grains (brown rice, quinoa, oats), legumes (beans, lentils), and
vegetables.
Benefits: Rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They provide a steady release of energy
help maintain stable blood sugar levels, and support digestive health.

Fruits:
Found in: Berries, apples, bananas, etc.
Benefits: Natural sugars along with fiber, antioxidants, and essential nutrients.
They offer a quick energy boost and contribute to overall health.

Vegetables:
Found in: Leafy greens, broccoli, carrots, etc.
Benefits: Low in calories, high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Vegetables are essential for a well-balanced and nutrient-dense diet.
 Bad Carbs:
Refined Carbohydrates:
Found in: White bread, white rice, sugary cereals, etc.
Issues: These undergo processing that removes much of their fiber and nutritional
content.
They can lead to rapid spikes and crashes in blood sugar levels.

Added Sugars:
Found in: Sodas, candies, pastries, etc.
Issues: Excessive consumption is linked to various health problems, including obesity,
type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular issues.
They provide empty calories without significant nutritional value.

Processed Foods:
Found in: Fast food, packaged snacks, etc.
Issues: Often high in refined carbohydrates, unhealthy fats, and added sugars.
Regular consumption can contribute to poor health outcomes.
