Complex carbohydrates, also known as polysaccharides, consist of long chains of monosaccharide units and include starch, glycogen, and fiber. Starch is the primary complex carbohydrate in the human diet, found in foods like grains, potatoes, legumes, and corn. It is composed of amylose and amylopectin, which are broken down slowly during digestion, providing a gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream. In contrast, glucose, fructose, and sucrose are simple carbohydrates (mono- and disaccharides) that are digested and absorbed more rapidly. Choosing complex carbohydrates over simple sugars helps maintain stable energy levels, supports digestive health, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
