When you eat sugar, your body transforms it into fuel. โก
This process is called metabolism. In the
digestive system, sugar is broken down into glucose, which enters the bloodstream. Your body uses insulin, a special hormone, to help cells absorb glucose for energy. This is how you get the power to play, run, jump, and even think! ๐
โโ๏ธ However, if you eat too much sugar at once, it can give you a โsugar rushโ - a quick burst of energy - followed by a crash, which makes you feel tired. Thatโs why itโs good to eat sugar in moderation!
