Explanation:

carbs are mostly/ sugar, turned to glucose, then glucagon so cells can absorb broken down sugars or starches..

the body uses these sugars for fight or flight mode...

fats are made of proteins we eat. the body needs both to maintain homeostasis.

fat stays in the body longer because our bodies use this to contribute to survival to keep vital organs like the heart & muscle tissue working..

if you dont eat both u become lethargic, sleeping a lot, and higher thirst-rate.
