As a class, go over and share what you thought was important to note down.
After watching the video and sharing your notes, please write me a post answering the following questions:

Question1:
ReplyDeleteSimple carbohydrates- is sugar because it is the smallest molecule
Complex carbohydrates- are broken down into two groups starches and fiber
Fiber- is a substance that passes through your intestine without breaking down
Blood sugar- is also called glucose, which is small enough to pass through the lining of your intestine
Processed food- in processed food you find more carbs and less fiber.
Question2:
Your body uses carbohydrates for energy and proper cell function
Question3:
Diabetes is a metabolism disorder when your body doesn’t produce enough insulin, produces no insulin, or the cells don’t respond to the insulin the pancreas produces. This means your body produces a lot of insulin. The excess insulin is then passed through your body’s urine. Even though your body is producing enough glucose, your cells aren’t getting it for their energy and growth. Diabetes is managed by keeping your blood sugar under control and as close too normal as possible.
