This week it was extremely help to have learned so much about carbs, proteins, lipids, and Nucleic acid. My dad has decided that he needed to go on a really hardcore diet. Cutting out carbs and most lipids. Little did he know, he needed all that, but not too much. I explained to him that in order to have energy you have to eat Carbohydrates and that Lipids help to protect your cells and store energy for later use. I learned that Proteins are not your main source of energy but are a supplier. I also learned that Nucleic acid is a helping factor for determining DNA and RNA. I don't really know that much about what Nucleic acids is or what it does.
