Scalp symptoms are any abnormality of the skin or hair on the head. Although the most common scalp symptoms include dry, oily, or flaky skin, as seen with dandruff, you could experience numerous other scalp symptoms. These include itchiness, numbness, tingling, bruising, pain and swelling of the scalp.
Carbohydrates are sugars that break down inside the body to create glucose. Glucose is moved around the body in the blood and is the primary source of energy for the brain, muscles, and other essential cells.
What is the difference between a simple carbohydrate and a complex carbohydrate? The body breaks down carbohydrate into glucose (a type of sugar) to provide energy. The number of sugars found in the chemical structure of the carbohydrate determines if it is a simple or a complex carbohydrate. Simple carbohydrates contain no more than two sugars. Carbohydrates with more than two sugars in their structures are considered complex carbohydrates. Compared to simple carbohydrates, complex carbohydrates are generally absorbed slower and thus take longer for the body to digest.
