Under normal courstances, after eating carbohydrang insulin: thee digtee systeme breaks them down into glucose, which enters thee blood.

In a healthy individual, this stem finely tuned: a coste compes moderately, policilin bre bait with thele inthe.

However, when meals are high in rapidly digestible carbohydrates and low in fiber, protein, and fat, thee glucose enters the bloostream too quickly, causing a sharp spike. Thee palars then overcorrects by releasing an excess of insulin, which can drive blood sugar levels too low - a phenonoon called reactive hyglycemia. Thi rapid swing triggers contrighers such as etigue, iniabity, braiun fog, shaess, intenger.

Te glicemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) are useful tools for undering how different foods affect blood glucose. The GI ranks carbohydates on a scale of 0 t o 100 based on how quicli they raxe blood sugar compared tte pure glucose.

Thee Anatomy of a Store- bought Muffin: Key Ingredients That Affect Blood Sugar

Sugar andSweeteners: Thee Second Hit

Beyond the flour, muffins are packed with added sugars in various form: white sugar, brown sugar, high- fructose corn syrup, honey, agave, or dextrose.
