Carbohydrates are a vital part of our diet and provide essential vitamins and minerals. They are one of the six nutrients and are a great source of energy. Our body converts carbohydrates to calories, which the body uses as energy. 1 gram of carbohydrate will transform itself to 4 grams of calories. Carbohydrates are a readily available source of energy. Most carbohydrates are quickly and easily used by the body for energy and can be stored in the muscles for exercise. Carbohydrates are important because they help the organs in the body function properly and can assist in regulating sugar levels in the bloodstream. However, too many carbohydrates in the body can cause weight gain. Low-carb diets are working on the underlying assumption that too many carbohydrates in the body will cause the body to accumulate fat.
