Along with proteins and fats, carbohydrates are one of the three macronutrients — or major nutrients that your body needs in large amounts. Carbohydrates provide you with glucose that your metabolism converts into energy your body can use. Identifying good carbohydrates, as well as knowing the foods that contain them is essential to a healthy diet.
Here are good carbs that you should include in your diet.
Potatoes - The first vegetable that dieters add in their banned list of food is a potato. You need to realize potatoes themselves are not dangerous; it is how you cook and serve them that can be risky for you. Baked potatoes dipped in fattening cheese and sour cream or deep-fried potatoes will make you gain weight fast. Potatoes contain low GI that you can take advantage of. The best way to include potatoes in your menu is by making cold potato salad with low-fat sour cream.
Brown Rice - White rice might be used in healthy dishes like stir-fries and sushi, but that doesn’t make it healthy. White rice has a high glycaemic index because it is made from refined grains. Brown rice is a much healthier option than white rice because it contains vitamins and dietary minerals. Brown rice can last for around six months.
Savory Biscuit - Most individuals confuse low-fat biscuits and rice crackers as healthy snacks. In reality, they are made from refined grains that get digested fast and increase blood sugar levels. So opt for snacks that are made from whole grains like crisp breads and biscuits. They will protect you from illnesses like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Moreover, you won’t feel hungry quickly after consuming such snacks.
