Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the bodies source of fuel which can be loosely compared to a car or lawnmower when they use fuel.
You might wonder why carbohydrates can produce energy and it's because carbohydrates consist of sugars and starch. And when foods consist of a high level of carbohydrates it gives the body a rush of energy.
For example foods like breads and grains have high levels of carbohydrates and when consumed they give your body carbohydrates that can be converted into energy.
But you might wonder well what happens when we don't use all the fuel that these carbohydrates provide for us.
Well the body converts it into glycogen which stays stored in the liver and muscles to be used for energy. But this is not always a good thing because when your body can't store anymore glycogen in the body it turns it into fat.
So how do you correct this well for starters you should remember to balance the amount of carbohydrates you take in and probably do more exercising & working out to help your body stay in it's peak physical condition.
