Are Carbohydrates Important for Fitness and Performance?
Carbohydrates often get a bad reputation, with some labeling them as nonessential because the body can technically survive without them. The human body can biosynthesize all the glucose it needs for survival by drawing on noncarbohydrate tissues and their metabolites. However, while they may not be essential for mere survival, carbohydrates play a critical role in optimizing athletic performance and muscle growth.
