Food

• Food is the body’s source of energy and basic building blocks, enabling muscle movement, growth and repair

• The food we eat should come from seven groups:– Carbohydrates– Fats– Proteins– Vitamins– Minerals– Fibre– Water

• Each of these has a distinct job in fulfilling the body’s dietary needs

Carbohydrates

• When broken down, carbohydrates provide the

body with glucose, the main source of energy

• Although energy can be gained from other sources, carbohydrates can supply energy quickly and efficiently

• Excess carbohydrate in the body is directed to the liver and converted to glycogen, which is stored in the liver or muscles

• Other excess carbohydrate may be stored as fat
