Food consists of 3 major nutrients:
- Carbohydrates- Protein- Fat
All 3 nutrients are required for life for different reasons.
How do our bodies use food to get the energy we need to
function?
We all eat a mixture of different foods
glucose + other stuff
Our main source of energy
Circulating in our blood}

Glucose circulating in our blood vessels
But we need the glucose to go from our blood to the cells in our body’s tissues, this is where the
energy gets used.

If the pancreas does not produce insulin or does not produce
enough insulin, glucose builds up in our blood instead of being used
for energy.
This is diabetes
