It is recommended to eat about 4 grams of carbs for every pound of body weight per day. So, it means that Cynthia (55 kg ~ 121 pounds) needs to take in about 500 grams of carbohydrates daily. Carbohydrates are important nutrient for marathon athletes to consume when preparing for a marathon because the skeletal muscles are fuelled mainly by glucose derived from carbohydrates. Glucose is stored in the form of glycogen to promote a decrease in fatigue during the race.

How does the digestive system interact with the rest of the body
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The Digestive System gets nutrients (good) from food and hands it over to the blood and Circulatory System then carries those nutrients where they need to go. It Filters out waste from food and pushes it through intestines and out the body.

Explanation:

As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. The body then absorbs these smaller molecules through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream, which delivers them to the rest of the body.
