http://www.jpost.com/Sports/Article.aspx?id=215898 . .Carbohydrates are a misunderstood subject that has a bad reputation - our brain needs them to function.
.This is the third article in a series of articles on the subject of nutrition.
.In the past two articles I introduced the topic of nutrition and expanded upon the subject of proteins.
.I discussed how small amounts of high-quality protein combined with carbohydrates have been found to have a significant impact on the body's protein synthesis, much more so than just eating large amounts of proteins.
.It is with this information in mind that I will start our discussion on carbohydrates, a misunderstood subject that has a bad reputation.
.Carbohydrates are the bread and butter of all foods. They are sugars and starches that are part of most everyday foods such as breads, fruits, vegetables, milk, honey, pasta, cereals, syrups, popcorn and of course, sugar.
.Carbohydrates are what our brain functions on and supplies energy for our entire body. Our bodies favor this energy source that is broken down into glucose, which the blood brings to all the cells in our body.
.Glucose is used for energy - it powers the cells in our body and helps power our muscles when we are involved in physical activity.
.Our muscles use up our glycogen (a chain of glucose) when we work out. If athletes do not consume enough carbohydrates, they might not have enough glycogen stored in their body and will likely experience symptoms of fatigue.
.Eating the right amount of carbohydrates is a smart choice to prevent glycogen deficiency.
.An athlete's performance relies greatly on the types of foods that are eaten several weeks before a competition.
