william koch on 06 Apr 13Starchy carbohydrates include bread (and bread products), potatoes, chapattis, pasta, rice, cous cous, noodles and cereals. Pulse vegetables also contain starchy carbohydrate. These food types increase the blood glucose even though they aren't sweet in taste. Your body digests them and breaks them into sugar. Even though they raise blood sugar they should not be seen as 'bad' foods because they do a really important job, serving as fuel for the body to supply energy. We need energy to exist, visit school, play, do sports and also to make our brains work. Children likewise need energy for growth.
