In summary, carbohydrates are the source of all energy available to our bodies. Fats (or lipids) are essential in supporting cell growth. Protein is the building block of our bones, muscles, and skin. These three are found in healthy and unhealthy foods, but it’s up to you to identify and balance the correct food sources to consume!

We wish you the best in creating a healthier, happier you and hope you find these tips useful!
