Question

1. what happens to your blood sugar when you consume a sugary snack?

a. it gradually increases
b. it spikes and then crashes
c. it remains stable
d. it gradually decreases

Explanation:

Sugary snacks have a high amount of simple sugars. When consumed, these sugars are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, causing blood sugar to rise rapidly (spike). Then, the body releases insulin to lower blood sugar, which can lead to a rapid drop (crash). Option a is incorrect as it's a rapid increase, not gradual. Option c is wrong because sugar intake disrupts stability. Option d is incorrect as sugar intake increases, not decreases blood sugar initially.

Answer:

b. It spikes and then crashes
