The Role of Carbohydrates in Bodybuilding Diets

Updated: Aug 22, 2024




The Benefit of Carbohydrates in Bodybuilding Diets






Carbohydrates, also known as carbs, are essential for a healthy diet and vital at every stage of life.

 

They serve many important functions in the body including:

 

Energy

Carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy, fueling the brain, heart muscles, kidneys, and central nervous system. The body stores glucose energy as glycogen, mainly in the liver and muscles.

 

Digestion

Fiber, a type of carbohydrate, aids digestion, keeps cholesterol levels in check, and helps you feel full.

 

Gut health

Complex carbohydrates can increase healthy gut bacteria, which is associated with mood and mental disorders.

 

Hydration

Carbohydrates help muscles and organs retain water, which helps muscles work longer without tiring and keeps organs functioning properly.

 

Immune function

Adequate carbohydrate intake supports immune functions that help keep the body healthy and ward off sickness.

 

Blood sugar

Carbohydrates regulate blood sugar, and without them, blood sugar can drop too low and cause lethargy and irritation.
