Carbohydrates are broken down in your digestive system into small simple sugars, mostly glucose, which is then absorbed into the blood stream and transported all over your body. Most of the cells in your body use glucose as an energy source. You should choose good carbs from whole grains, veggies, and fruits instead of sugar from sodas, candy, etc. to maintain a health energy and sugar balance in your body.
