Detailed explanation-3: -The body breaks down most carbohydrates from the foods we eat and converts them to a type of sugar called glucose. Glucose is the main source of fuel for our cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -Carbohydrates provide the body with glucose, which is converted to energy used to support bodily functions and physical activity.
