Why are complex carbs important for your body?

I am doing a project and I need to know why complex carbs are important, why we need complex carbs, and what is the function of complex carbs?

Thnx in advance :)

Answer #1

Carbohydrates are the body’s primary source of fuel.

Complex carbohydrates are simply sugars bonded together to form a chain. Digestive enzymes have to work much harder to access the bonds to break the chain into individual sugars for absorption through the intestines. For this reason digestion of complex carbohydrates takes longer. The slow absorption of sugars provides us with a steady supply of energy and limits the amount of sugar converted into fat and stored.
