Carbohydrates and recipes for celiacs

A very important concept to always keep in mind is directly related to carbohydrates or carbon hydrates. Despite their bad reputation, they are part of the chemical chain of substances that turn into energy.

Surely you will already know many of them: sugars, calories, minerals. All of these elements are “driven” by carbohydrates.

Obviously, the problem arises when they are in excess and are stored in the body, because there is no way – except by exercising – to get rid of them. Problems such as obesity, heart disease, a sedentary lifestyle or anemia are caused by an excess of carbohydrates.

However, it is also true that without carbohydrates we would not be able to recharge and the cells would not function properly. So, when you happen to read that “carbohydrates are bad” again, remember the information above.
