Complex carbs - when we talk about Complex carbs, they are not refined and processed as they have much fiber, vitamins and minerals content, which is healthy for our digestion. they are slowly digestible and low in glycemic index, that's the reason it provides sustainable energy. here are some example of complex carbs - brown rice, brown bread,
