Carbohydrates are, contrary to what any low-Carb advocate might say, the single most efficient way to get the body everything it needs. Generated by plants via the process of photosynthesis, carbohydrates are composed of compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
People often refer to these compounds as saccharides, or sugars. These simple sugars adhere to one another, branching chains that we call complex carbohydrates, also commonly called starch.
When one consumes such foods, the enzymes break down, turning a chain into simple sugars, which pass through the intestinal wall easily and effectively, and enter the bloodstream for distribution to every cell in the body. Metabolic processes change these simple sugars into energy.
At Mont Belvieu Urgent Care, we urge everybody to eat plenty of carbs. These days, many low-carb gurus claim that carbs make you fat, that they add inches around your waste. This is complete bunkum and claptrap - exactly what they have to resort to in order to get people to follow their proscribed path. Our doctors at Mont Belvieu Urgent Care have developed an effective diet program that will assist in optimizing your health and improving your appearance. Contrary to what the low-carbers claim, imbuing one's self with saturated fats is not the answer.
