Though pleasure isn't something to be avoided, your health goes for a toss when you overeat just for the sake of the pleasure your taste buds get. Now, let us discuss more about how the human body processes the food to derive energy.
After You Eat Something...
The food you eat enters the stomach. Your stomach releases certain enzymes and acids in order to digest the food.
The Carbohydrates...
During the process of digestion, the carbs present in your meal get converted into glucose.
Where Does Glucose Go?
The glucose that is derived from carbs and starch is then absorbed by the small intestines as well as your stomach. Then the glucose is released into your blood.
Glucose Gives Energy
The glucose that gets into the blood can provide you instant energy. If you don't need that energy, your body can also store it so that you can use it later.
What's Insulin?
Here comes another player known as insulin. You need insulin in order to store glucose or even use it. If you don't have insulin levels, all the glucose will get accumulated in your blood and this leads to high sugar levels in your blood.
What Carbs Do?
Your pancreas release insulin. When you eat a food that is rich in carbohydrates, your blood sugar levels increase as all the carbs and starch get converted into sugar. So, your pancreas release more insulin to manage the blood sugar.
Your Energy Levels
Balancing the glucose levels with the help of insulin, your body tries to keep your energy levels stable. This is how you run, play, walk, work and even sleep.
What's Diabetes?
When a person's body fails to manage insulin levels or fails to secrete enough insulin, diabetes might occur.
