what do carbohydrates do for your body
Based on understanding of the various other uses in your body for Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Lipids…?
Based on your understanding of the various other uses in your body for Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Lipids, which of these three would likely be used first to provide energy at the time of famine when no food is available from the environment? Why?
Carbs are used first, as they are the “fuel” used by muscles that is, they are in the form ready to burn. Carbs are stored as fats (lipids) if you have an abundance of carbs. so Lipids would be broken down to carbohydrates, then used as energy. one of the main reasons our bodies store lipids is for an energy reserve in times of famine.
Lastly, Proteins would be broken down into carbohydrates. this is the last stage of starvation, where your body is actually destroying your own muscle tissue to sustain itself. from an evolutionary standpoint, if you broke down proteins before lipids, then lipid storage would be pointless, as there would be no muscles to use the energy stored as fat.
