The sugars in the carbs you're consuming are broken down by an enzyme called amylase, which is released in your saliva.
- Carbohydrates provide energy for the body to do mental and physical duties throughout the day.
- Carbohydrates are broken down into sugars, also known as saccharides, during digestion or metabolization.
- These molecules begin to break down in the mouth and go throughout the body, where they are utilised for everything from regular cell function to cell growth and repair.
- You've probably heard that certain carbs are "healthy" and others are "bad." But it isn't quite that easy.
