CARBOHYDRATES AND ZAMBIANS DIET.
While carbohydrates are a necessary part of a balanced diet, excessive consumption, especially of refined carbohydrates and added sugars, can contribute to an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Carbohydrates and Blood Sugar:
When you eat carbohydrates, your body breaks them down into glucose (a type of sugar), which enters your bloodstream and raises your blood sugar levels.
Insulin's Role:
Insulin is a hormone that helps your body use glucose for energy. In people with diabetes, the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or can't use insulin properly, leading to high blood sugar levels.
Type 2 Diabetes:
Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the body becomes resistant to insulin, or the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin to keep blood sugar levels in a healthy range.
Refined Carbohydrates and Added Sugars:
These types of carbohydrates are quickly digested and cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels, which can strain the body's ability to regulate blood sugar.
Examples of Refined Carbohydrates and Added Sugars:
These include sugary drinks, white bread, pastries, and processed foods.
