Carbohydrate

Protein and fats are the body’s building sources for tissues and cells, whereas carbohydrate is an energy source. Carbohydrate is not essential for the body, because we can run from both protein and fat. But it is still better to have in our diet so that protein and such are used more for building and repairing things.

If you want to have more energy, be a ‘bouncier’ person, then you need to have more carbohydrate in your diet. More endurance athletes also have more carbohydrate to give them energy in their long distance races or training sessions.

I thought that I’d only give you a small article on carbohydrate today considering that I’ve already posted one about protein.
