Carbs and Protein: So Happy Together

Previously, many of us were misled into believing that all carbs should be avoided.

We now know that your body works best with a balance of protein and carbohydrates. Carbohydrates not only provide instant energy. They also provide fiber, which helps hustle bad stuff out of your body. Your body makes better use of protein when it has a carbohydrate escort. Think of protein and carbs together as a nutritional dream team.

Protein is the purveyor of amino acids, the building blocks of cells, the bricks and mortar of muscle, the potion of repair and fertiliser of growth.

Because it takes longer to tap and harness its energy, eating protein does not lead to significant spikes in blood sugar levels. This reduces the likelihood of energy droops or brownouts and the wild mood swings that accompany them.
