Carbohydrates often get a bad reputation. Many people are told they are “fattening” or that cutting them out is the key to health. I’ve been there myself, feeling pressure to restrict carbs and focus on fats for energy, only to notice fatigue, digestive issues, and a lack of vitality. It wasn’t until I prioritised high-quality, unprocessed carbohydrates, particularly from fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, that I began to feel truly nourished. My energy stabilised, my digestion improved, and I noticed a gentle glow returning to my skin.
