New Year 2018 is here! Time to soak up the new enthusiasm and renew determination to positively change ourselves. Here’s an idea for a lifelong resolution - embrace good nutrition in daily life. The benefits are better health and happier life. Sounds worthy, doesn’t it? So, how does one embraces nutrition? First, everyone has to understand two basic concepts – what to eat and how much to eat. It is a valuable life skill. All foods are made up of two types of nutrients, macro nutrients - required in bigger amounts (carbohydrates, protein and fat) and micro nutrients - needed in tiny amounts (vitamins and minerals).

Each of these nutrients has their own roles in the body. Carbohydrates are the primary energy sources that fuel all external physical activities as well as the essential internal functions like brain, nerves, digestion, circulation, excretion, etc. All foods contain carbohydrates but in different forms. —blog.embracegoodnutrition.com/blogs
