Dr. Yang Ziqi
Common carbohydrate-rich foods include grains such as rice, wheat, oats, and corn, which provide steady energy. Noodles, including bread, pasta, and dumplings, are also important sources of carbohydrates. Root vegetables, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots, are rich in starch and can supply energy to the body. Fruits and vegetables are also good sources of carbohydrates, especially the natural sugars and fiber found in fruits, which provide vitamins and minerals. Legumes, such as soybeans, black beans, and red beans, offer not only carbohydrates but also rich protein and fiber, helping enhance satiety. In daily diet, maintaining an appropriate intake of carbohydrates is very important. It is recommended to choose whole grains and high-fiber foods to promote digestion and overall health. Avoid excessive consumption of refined sugars and high-sugar foods to prevent blood sugar fluctuations and weight gain.
