fuel for exercise

Fuel for exercise refers to the energy your body derives from the food you eat, primarily carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Carbohydrates are the body's main quick energy source, stored as glycogen in muscles and liver. Fats provide a sustained energy supply, especially during longer, less intense activity. Proteins are mainly used for muscle repair but can also be converted into energy when needed. During exercise, your body taps into these energy stores, increasing blood flow and enzyme activity to efficiently produce the power needed. Proper nutrition ensures your body has enough fuel to perform optimally and recover effectively.
