You can't think without carbohydrates

You can't think without carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are one of the key essential macronutrients others are fats and proteins.

People are following Keto diet or avoiding carbs in the hope of losing excess fat.

But carbohydrates are essential for not only your brain but also for your body to efficiently burn fat.

Go without carbs for a day and notice your ability to think clearly has also gone with that.

Without carbs, the body has no energy to think or act and will soon shut down.

I remember Twinkle Khanna said in one of her interviews if you want to do some meaningful work from your mind it is important that you eat carbs.

She writes books and quite popular ones. So she must have realized from her own experience that without adding some bread, roti, paratha to her diet she can't concentrate and definitely can't think properly.

I balanced the intake of complex and simple carbs. Complex carbs are bread, grains, and pulses, and simple carbs are fruits.

Both are essential for the efficient functioning of mind and body.
