Understanding the Speed of Carbohydrate Absorption in the Body
Carbohydrate absorption affects energy levels. Simple carbs like glucose are absorbed within 15-30 minutes, causing rapid blood sugar spikes, while complex carbs take 30 minutes to 2 hours. The glycemic index (GI) indicates absorption speed. Fiber, food composition, and processing also impact absorption, guiding healthier dietary choices.
