Carbohydrates are exclusively pure energy suppliers. Think of them as paper. Paper burns quickly and violently. Can you use well to light a fire. But to make it burn in the long term, you need other substances. In the body, these are fats, proteins vital substances such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, trace elements. They build you up and make you strong and capable in the long run.
Vital substances, fats and proteins do not only provide short-term energy. They also provide building materials for our body cells, organs, make happy hormones and build our immune system.
