How does carbohydrate intake affect the body’s ability to manage and recover from intense physical stress?

Carbohydrate intake affects the body’s ability to manage and recover from intense physical stress by providing essential fuel for energy and recovery. Adequate carbohydrate consumption helps replenish glycogen stores depleted during intense exercise, supports muscle repair, and reduces fatigue. Proper carbohydrate intake before and after physical stress helps maintain performance levels and accelerates recovery, ensuring the body can adapt and respond effectively to physical demands.
