When people eat a food containing carbohydrates, the digestive system breaks down the digestible ones into sugar, which enters the blood.
Is what you eat slowly killing you? Overtime the food you are eating has an impact on blood sugar and can lead to Type 2 diabetes. Understanding carbohydrate effects and glucose management not only can help you be happier and healthier it can save your life. The glycemic index helps understand the impact food has on blood glucose levels. Blood sugar levels above normal are toxic and can cause blindness, kidney failure, or increase cardiovascular risk.

Exercise Can Help Control Weight Obesity results from energy imbalance: too many calories in, too few calories burned. A number of factors influence how many calories (or how much “energy”) people burn each day, among them, age, body size, and genes. But the most variable factor-and the most easily modified-is the amount of activity people get each day.
