Answer:

Protein is an important component of every cell in the body. You also use protein to make enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals. Protein is an important building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood.

The main function of carbohydrates is to provide the body and brain with energy. An adequate intake of carbs also spares proteins and helps with fat metabolism.

Explanation:

                                              PROTEIN                                              

Every cell in the human body contains protein. The basic structure of protein is a chain of amino acids. You need protein in your diet to help your body repair cells and make new ones. Protein is also important for growth and development in children, teens, and pregnant women.

Some sources of dietary protein include:

• lean meat, poultry and fish.
• eggs.
• dairy products like milk, yoghurt and cheese.
• seeds and nuts.
• beans and legumes (such as lentils and chickpeas)
• soy products like tofu.

                                       CARBOHYDRATES                                    

Carbohydrates are all about energy and are found in foods like fruits, vegetables, breads, pasta, and dairy products.

Your body uses these foods to make glucose, which is your body's main energy source. Glucose is a type of sugar that can be used right away for energy or stored away to be used later.

"Carbohydrates provide the body with the energy it needs and are a good source of many vitamins and minerals.

Some sources of Carbohydrates include:

• Vegetables: All of them. ...
• Whole fruits: Apples, bananas, strawberries, etc.
• Legumes: Lentils, kidney beans, peas, etc.
• Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, peanuts, etc.
• Seeds: Chia seeds, pumpkin seeds.
• Whole grains: Choose grains that are truly whole, as in pure oats, quinoa, brown rice, etc.
