Answers
Answer:
ans 1✌Carbohydrates are the sugars, starches and fibers found in fruits, grains, vegetables and milk products. Though often maligned in trendy diets, carbohydrates — one of the basic food groups — are important to a healthy diet.
ans 2✌An athlete needs more carbohydrates, because exercise burns up glucose in the muscles, and that glucose needs to be replaced with carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are converted to glucose. An office worker would burn up less glucose than an athlete.
ans 3✌Roughage is the portion of plant foods, such as whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, fruits, and vegetables, that your body can't digest. However, it's an important food source for the beneficial bacteria in your gut. It may also aid weight management and decrease certain risk factors for heart disease.
ans 4✌Your body uses water in all its cells, organs, and tissues to help regulate its temperature and maintain other bodily functions. Because your body loses water through breathing, sweating, and digestion, it's important to rehydrate by drinking fluids and eating foods that contain water.
