Carbohydrates- a major source of energy. The preferred source of fuel for the brain and muscles.
Fats- Insulates the body and protects organs and joints. Involved in many hormonal and metabolic functions. Slows the release of nutrients into the bloodstream to help regulate appetite and energy levels.
