Carbohydrates: Consequences of Malnutrition

Carbohydrates are essential macronutrients that provide energy for the body.
They are classified into simple (sugars) and complex (starches, fibres) carbohydrates.
Insufficient carbohydrates can lead to health problems such as fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and muscle and organ damage due to fat and protein breakdown.
Low carbohydrate intake can lead to constipation as fibres are essential for healthy digestion.
Nutrient deficiency can weaken the immune system and harm skin and hair health.
A balanced diet with proper carbohydrate intake is crucial for overall well-being.
