Carbohydrates give us the energy to carry on with our day-to-day lives.Foods high in sugars include those naturally occurring as in fruit, and those containing refined/processed sugars such as sweets, chocolates, cakes etc. We need to limit our intake of refined sugars – these are empty calories which give an immediate ‘boost’.A small amount of fat is important for health, but eating too much fat is unhealthy.
