What are carbs?

Carbs are like little energy helpers that power your body all day long.

Imagine you're playing with your favorite building blocks, each block is a carb, and when you stack them together, they make big towers of energy that help you run, jump, and laugh. Just like how you need building blocks to build something cool, your body needs carbs to keep going through the day.

Carbs are found in foods like bread, pasta, fruits, and even candy. When you eat them, your body turns them into sugar, which is like a quick fuel for your brain and muscles. It's like getting a boost before a big game or a long walk.

You can find carbs in many places:

• In the white bread you have for breakfast
• In the apples you snack on during recess
• In the pizza you eat after school

So, next time you're munching on a sandwich or eating a banana, remember, you’re getting carbs, and they’re helping you stay strong and happy!
