The best are the complex carbohydrates like those found in whole grains.

What is glucose the prefered source of energy for?
brain cells, nerve cells, red blood cells
What system is involved in ambulation?
The skeletal system, nervous system, and muscular systems are most directly involved with ambulation.
The major source of fuel for the nervous system brain and red blood cells is?
Carbohydrates, more specifically: glucose
