Question

Healthy carbohydrates contain more nutrients and fiber and

take more time to digest. How is this better for the body's
blood sugar level? (probably the most difficult question on
the quiz, so think through this).*

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

As blood sugar levels rise, the pancreas produces insulin, a hormone that prompts cells to absorb blood sugar for energy or storage.

As cells absorb blood sugar, levels in the bloodstream begin to fall.

When this happens, the pancreas start making glucagon, a hormone that signals the liver to start releasing stored sugar.

This interplay of insulin and glucagon ensure that cells throughout the body, and especially in the brain, have a steady supply of blood sugar.
