Fast-acting carbs: Glucose tablets, glucose drinks, full-sugar soft drinks or squashes, jellies (not diet), sweets. Medium-acting carbs: Bread, pasta, potatoes, yams, breakfast cereal, couscous. Slow-acting carbs: Pearl barley, peas, beans, lentils, sweetcorn, pumpkin.
Three fast-acting carbohydrates are:
Glucose: Found in foods like honey, table sugar, and certain fruits, glucose is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, providing a rapid source of energy.
White bread or white rice: These refined carbohydrates have a high glycemic index, meaning they are digested quickly and cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels.
Sports drinks or energy gels: These products often contain simple sugars like glucose or sucrose, which are quickly absorbed by the body to provide immediate energy during intense physical activity.
