Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to make it through a busy day with only a limited amount of battery on your phone. Just like how your phone relies on its battery to keep running smoothly, your body depends on carbohydrates to fuel its activities. In this analogy, carbohydrates are like the phone battery, providing the necessary energy (in the form of calories) to keep your body's 'functions'—like thinking, moving, and digesting—operational throughout the day.
