The next word is carbohydrate, carbohydrate, carbohydrate is a very long word, so we usually abbreviated.

We usually shorten it to carbs.

It can help you build muscle to, um, when you want.

What if that's your goal?

It's important to get enough protein sugar.

The next word is sugar.

So sugar we talked about sugar and carbohydrates.

So it's very commonly found in candy and sweets in a sentence.

Eating too much sugar can be bad for your skin.

Fact.

The next word is fat fat.

There's, of course, animal fats.

So like bacon, for example, is like kind of famously, ah, delicious because it is a fatty piece of meat.

There's a lot of fat in it, so fat can make food taste better.

Um, And then fat also has a bad reputation because it can, of course, the word fat.

So, for example, I could say it's important to have a balanced diet, meaning it's important to keep balance in the foods that you eat and the things that you drink.

So a balanced diet refers to a balanced eating and drinking lifestyle, so diet, when used in this way, means lifestyle, not like a intention to lose weight.

So please be careful with this work and a sentence.

Keeping a balanced diet is important for a healthy lifestyle ingredients.

The next word is ingredients ingredients, So if you check the nutritional facts on the back of Ah food product, you'll usually see a list of ingredients.

So the ingredients are the things inside that product, the things that are used to make the product you're looking at right now.
