Multiple Choice

Choose the appropriate letter or letters to identify the pattern or patterns of each reading. The human body needs carbohydrates.Carbohydrates are the chemical compounds which provide energy in the form of glucose, or sugar.They are present in foods like bread, pasta, and potatoes.As athletes know, eating the right carbohydrates at the right time can improve physical performance during exercise.Eating a light snack such as a banana, an apple, yogurt, or peanut butter toast keeps blood sugar stable and provides a steady fuel for muscles.If you want to fuel your workout with carbohydrates, eat an hour or two before you get started.The delay gives your muscles time to convert and store the carbohydrates as glycogen, the storage form of glucose that provides energy to the body.During an exercise workout that lasts longer than an hour, make it a point to replenish your fuel supply periodi-cally.Sports drinks, for example, will supply additional carbohydrates and replace the fluids lost through sweating.After the workout is done, eat a bagel or some rice cakes to help your body recover from the workout and prepare for the next one.
