Hi there! Let's learn about carbohydrates, or carbs for short. Carbohydrates are a type of food that gives us energy to run, play, and think!
Think of carbohydrates like fuel for a car. Just like a car needs gas to move, your body needs carbohydrates to have energy.
You can find carbohydrates in foods like:
- Bread
- Rice
- Pasta
- Fruits like apples and bananas
- Vegetables like potatoes and corn
When you eat carbs, your body changes them into a special sugar called glucose. This glucose travels in your blood and gives energy to all parts of your body.
So next time you eat a yummy apple or a slice of bread, remember they are giving you energy to play and learn!
