Q: So why do you need them? What do they do?
A: Carbohydrates- provide the body with glucose which is converted to energy used to support bodily functions and physical activity
Proteins- Help your body repair cells and make new ones. Allows metabolic reactions to take place and coordinate the body’s functions while supporting lean muscle. Proteins also help maintain proper PH and fluid balance.
