What are the benefits of slow carbohydrates.

Slow carbohydrates have a complex structure and consist of polysaccharides - complex molecular chains that the body breaks down into simpler ones - and this takes time (about 2 hours). While the body is busy with this process, you feel full. At the same time, the energy comes in dosed, but stably - without sharp jumps in sugar, drops in vigor / fatigue. Slow carbohydrates are found in whole grains, legumes, vegetables - they have more nutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants) than in foods with simple carbohydrates.
