When we choose to eat a dinner roll or a delicious doughnut, we need to understand there is a difference between these simple, sugary carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates in the way they are digested. Sugar and other simple carbohydrates are hard to digest and can alter your mood and lead to weight gain, unlike complex carbohydrates which are high in fiber and easily digested and eliminated.
The work of digesting carbs is a task assigned to digestive enzymes. These enzymes work to break down the carbs into their basic building blocks, which are essentially different varieties of sugar, making it possible to pass the carbs on from the digestive system and into the blood stream where they are put to work.
The process of digesting carbohydrates is an extensive one, taking place throughout the digestive tract. Even when we’re chewing our food, enzymes in saliva are starting to break down the starchy compounds in the carbs. Continue through the esophagus to the stomach and into the intestines, each section of the digestive system has a role in digesting carbs.
With Healthy Curb containing NT Factor, carbs undergo a much different process during digestion. Instead of being continually broken down by enzymes into their basic components of various sugars as they pass through the digestive system, the body instead treats these carbs like fiber. Fiber is a carbohydrate, but is falls into the category of carbs that cannot be digested. Fiber is present in the majority of carbohydrates in various quantities, but when the body interprets carbs that would otherwise be treated as sugar as fiber, the unhealthy aspects of these foods are simply passed through the digestive system rather than being absorbed. Fiber has many benefits for digestion and the bodies overall health, even if it’s only just passing through without sticking around. NT Factor is essentially making lemonade out of lemons by taking unhealthy carbs and making the body treat them like healthy fiber.
