Carbohydrates


Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are the neutral compound of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen. Daily taken carbohydrates per day is 225 to 320 grams. if we want to weight loss, we have to take 50 to 150 grams of carbohydrates per day. Carbohydrates are of four types.
               (1)Monosaccharides
               (2) Disaccharide
               (3) Oligosaccharides
               (4) Polysaccharides

(1) Monosaccharides: Monosaccharides have only one sugar molecule.
Ex: Glucose, Fructose, Galactose etc.
(2) Disaccharides: Disaccharides have two sugar molecules.
Ex: Sucrose, Maltose, lactose etc.
(3) Oligosaccharides: Oligosaccharides have two to ten sugar molecules.
Ex: Raffinose, Stachyose etc.
(4) Polysaccharides: Polysaccharides have ten or more sugar molecules.
Ex: Starch, Glycogen, Cellulose, other fibers etc.

Function:
  • Carbohydrates give energy to our body.
  • Excess carbohydrates in our body are converted into fats by glucagon hormone. Which store as energy.
  • It helps in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus.

  • Fructose: Fructose is a simple sugar, Which is present in most of the fruits, honey, and root vegetables.
  • Galactose: Galactose is a simple sugar, which is present in milk and milk products.
None digestible carbohydrates: Dietary fibers are the polysaccharides. It is one type of cellulose, which is not digested in our body. Because there is no enzyme in our body to digest cellulose. But in ruminants cellulose is digested by bacteria.     
Effects of excess carbohydrates:
  • Excess carbohydrates in our body are converted into fat by glucagon hormone,
    which increases the LDL cholesterol in our body. It causes coronary heart disease, hypertension, obesity etc.
  • Excess carbohydrates in the blood may cause type 2 diabetes.
