Carbohydrates (or sugars) are the body’s primary source of energy and are essential to the functioning of the muscles and brain. Supplied by the diet, they are degraded into glucose in the body. Some of the ingested carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles to serve as an energy reserve.
