Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to budget your monthly expenses, like paying for groceries, rent, and utilities. Just as you need a steady supply of money to keep your household running smoothly, your body requires a steady supply of carbohydrates to function efficiently. Carbohydrates act like the paycheck that fuels your body's energy needs, with sugars and starches providing the necessary funds for your cells to "pay" for activities like movement, digestion, and thinking.
