Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates consist of single-sugar units called monosaccharides, double-

monosaccharide units known as disaccharides and multiple-monosaccharidemolecules that make up starches. The predominant purpose of the carbohydrates

you eat is to provide fuel to your cells. Disaccharides and starches undergo

digestion to reduce them to their individual sugars, and, once absorbed, they travelto the cells and tissues throughout your body to power your physical activities. A

special type of carbohydrate, known as fiber, passes through your gut undigested.

While fiber doesnt provide you with cellular energy, it improves yourdigestivehealthby regulating your bowel function.

Proteins

The building blocks that make up proteins are called amino acids. Proteins consist

of 20 different amino acids, mixed and matched to create a vast array of larger

molecules that support every process in your body. Digestion of protein results in apool of single amino acids that your cells incorporate into new proteins as the need

arises in your body. These molecules make up muscles and organs, transmit signalsbetween cells, constitute immune molecules, help create the new proteins your

tissues require and can serve as a fuel source in a pinch.
