When exercising routinely, timing the food that you eat around your exercise activities is important and has a significant impact on your energy levels. Carbohydrate intake, in particular, can affect performance, with simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates having different ideal times for consumption. The best types of carbohydrates to eat during and/or immediately after exercise are simple carbohydrates, whereas complex carbohydrates are ideally consumed a couple of hours before exercise. Complex carbohydrates take longer to digest and enter the bloodstream and can help build glycogen stores. Sort the following food items

a. Foods rich in simple carbohydrates.
b. Foods rich in complex carbohydrates.
c. Foods without carbohydrates

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a.) Foods rich in simple carbs- Low fat smoothie and sport drinks with glucose

(b.) Foods rich in complex carbs- whole-wheat pancakes, whole-wheat spaggetti with marinara sauce and brown rice with vegetables

(c.) Food without carbs- grilled salmon and roasted chicken breast

Simple carbs are easy to digest and eaten before a workout, hence the sports drink and low-fat smoothie falls under that category, while complex carbohydrates are hard to digest...think anything with wheat.
