, Carb function in the body - ANS Main energy source
Glycemic Index - ANS ranking foods based on the relative blood glucose response observed
after ingesting them.
High glucose response= high glycemic index
low glucose response= low glycemic index.
Monosaccharides - ANS glucose, fructose, galactose
Disaccharides - ANS sucrose, lactose, maltose
K
Polysaccharides - ANS thousands of molecules bound together-starch, glycogen, fiber
C
Soluble Fiber - ANS dissolves or swells in water, weight management (feeling full= satiety),
lowering cholesterol, and helps control blood sugar levels
Foods-citrus, apples, bananas, oats, beans
cancer
LO
Insoluble Fiber - ANS does not dissolve, helps GI health, prebiotic, protection against colon
Foods-whole grain, wheat bran, rice, veggies
YC
Insulin - ANS hormone secreted by the pancreas in order to unlock cells to allow glucose in,
lowering glucose levels. It is secreted when blood glucose levels are too high, above 99
Glucagon - ANS hormone secreted at the opposite time of insulin in order to raise glucose
levels. It is released when glucose levels are too low, releasing glucose from the liver into the
bloodstream
D
Type I Diabetes - ANS pancreas can no longer produce insulin
U
Type II Diabetes - ANS cells develop a resistance to insulin
Gluten - ANS insoluble protein composite // wheat, rye, and barley-responsible for the elastic
ST
consistency of dough
Celiac Disease - ANS inherited disease // immune system attacks small intestine when gluten
is ingested
Normal Fasting Blood Glucose Levels - ANS normal 70-99 mg/dl, prediabetes 100-125 mg/dl,
diabetes greater than 126
Probiotic Vs. Prebiotic - ANS probiotic (yogurt) are healthy bacteria that aid the GI tract to
move everything along, where prebiotics (honey) are mainly fibers that feed the probiotic
bacteria
