Good carbohydrates

There are two types of sugars in the diet, those that harm us (fast absorption) and those that benefit us (slow absorption). The sugars in sweets, buns, pastries etc, are quickly absorbed by the body decompensating blood sugar levels and generating all kinds of disorders, as well as obesity. However, the slow absorption saccharides (mainly present in legumes, cereals and all kinds of vegetables) are gradually absorbed and regulated by the body and are the most efficient source of energy. The buckwheat, like other cereals, is rich in fiber, a type of carbohydrate that our body can not digest and that serves as a cleansing brush of the intestines
