| Our bodies need energy when we walk, talk, think, move, scratch, sneeze, jump and sleep... EVERYTHING. The energy our bodies use comes from the food we eat - from the carbohydrates, protein and fat and believe it or not, our bodies prefer carbohydrates as the main energy supplier.
The body is designed to breakdown carbohydrates into glucose to fuel the billions of cells in our bodies. An interesting fact is that our brain cells can only use glucose as fuel - they cannot break down protein or fat.
Think of the body as a building: protein and fat are the body's building materials and the carbohydrates are the cement that provides the energy that holds everything together.
Eating balanced, nutritious food will get the body working at its best, keeping you and your family healthy and strong! Check out the carbohydrate, protein and fat profile on the back of a box of Future Life.
