Who says that you can't eat your carbohydrates and still maintain a healthy diet? In fact, carbohydrates play an essential role in providing your body with the energy that it needs to get through the day. And, given the many, many varieties of food that contain carbohydrates, it isn't even very difficult to find ways to incorporate them into a healthy diet.

Many foods contain carbohydrates, but not all of these foods are good for you. When considering the health benefit or impact of eating a food that is a significant source of carbohydrates, it is important to make note of the types of carbohydrates that it contains: complex carbohydrates or simple sugars. The body easily metabolizes the latter, while taking a longer time to process the former. The resulting difference in the processing time can be measured by monitoring the change of blood sugar level in a person. The easily processed simple sugars will cause it to spike quickly, whereas the complex carbohydrates will cause a gradual rise as the molecule is broken down into its component parts. But which is which you ask?

The first thing to do is to keep your eyes peeled for foods and food products that contain highly refined grain, like white flour and white rice. These are loaded with simple sugars, and you will not be making a bad decision if you decide to avoid them for the rest of your life. However, it is also good to remember that not all foods that contain simple sugars are bad for your health. Consider the fruit selections at your local grocery store or healthy snack vending machine. These also contain simple sugars, yet most people agree that their health benefits outweigh any downside that their carbohydrates carry with them.

At the same time, if you are consciously selecting a new source of carbohydrates for your diet, choose one of the foods that contain some of the complex carbohydrates. Foods such as brown rice, vegetables, and low-fat dairy. These can be incorporated into a healthful diet fairly easily. Beyond that, it is up to you to educate yourself about the different types of carbohydrates that are popping up on your plate and in your pantry.

And what about when you are away from home? You will not always find yourself near your own food stocks when you are hit with a hunger pang, so choose snacks from a healthy vending machine instead of the traditional snack and candy variety.
