Is one type of carbohydrates considered healthier for you? I would love a dumbed down explanation of the two.

Simple carbs are easier to digest, which is bad because they can overload your body’s ability to deal with them. The obvious example here is sugar: more sugar than your insulin can process can give you type 2 diabetes.
Once the sugar has been digested, that’s it: no more energy until the next meal. Complex carbs take longer to digest so you get a steadier supply of energy between meals.
Our taste buds really don’t do us any favours here.
