About Macronutrients :
The macro means bigger. Macronutrients are required in greater amounts to function in cellular metabolism. We obtain these macronutrients daily from dietary sources, mainly plants and animals.
The body needs them for the functioning of essential works.
We are not balancing the macronutrients and micronutrients in our dietary requirements. The imbalance of these factors leads to severe disease in the long term. Fixing this problem requires attention to the diet we are eating. Let’s examine each one and its importance.
About Carbohydrates:
They are essential for energy sources, providing immediate energy to the body.
Too much intake means high glucose levels, which are dangerous to the health.
About Proteins:
They are structural components of the body. They help the body build tissue blocks, create new cells, and repair the body cells of every organ.
About Fats:
Energy is a main macronutrient. It protects the body’s cells, muscles, and other organs. Fats allow the ADEK life vitamins to enter the body.
There are three types: Unsaturated, Saturated, and Trans fats
Unsaturated fats usually come from plant sources like olive oil
Saturated fats we get from animal sources are good in limits
Summary:
- Carbohydrates are the primary energy source for the body; we get them from starches and fibers.
- Proteins help build the body’s cellular construction and repair cells where damage has occurred; we consume them from meat, pulses, and fish.
- Fats are needed to store energy in the body, and the body requires fats; fats are consumed from oil, butter, and nuts.
