Functions of
Carbohydrates
- They are the bodies
preferred and main
source of energy
- 1 gram provides 4 Kcal energy
- Sugar provides the
body with a quick
release of energy
- Converted into glucose and
stored in the body as fat
- Starch energy is
released slowly
- Acts like a protein sparer- so that protein
can be used for its main function rather than
a source of energy.
- NSP helps to prevent
constipation and
diverticular disease.
- Helps to bind toxins from the
body to prevent the risk of bowel
cancer
