Digestion Of Carbohydrates

Chemical digestion of carbohydrates begins immediately in the mouth by enzymes present in the saliva. In the stomach, long chains of glucose that make up starch are further broken down. The stomach has some capacity to allow glucose into the bloodstream, which is beneficial to endurance athletes drinking glucose drinks during exercise to promote glycogen sparing. Once in the intestines, glucose and fructose absorption occurs at their respective rates, glucose being taken up faster than fructose. When complex carbohydrates are eaten, alone or with sugars, short chains of glucose polymers in the intestines slowly release glucose for an hour or two. This provides a prolonged supply of glucose in the intestines slowly release glucose for an hour or two. This provides a prolonged supply of glucose to the bloodstream as well as a nutritional energy that spares and replenishes muscle glycogen. 

When compares to protein and fat, carbohydrates are more quickly released from the stomach to the intestines. The more protein and fat present in the diet, the longer the stomach will take to empty. Logically, before and during exercise it makes sense to eat and drink foods very high in carbohydrates to advantage of this process. Again, this is where special sports nutrition drinks play an important part of increasing performance nutritionally.
