Answer 2

Answer:

Option d) i Reduce intake of candies/ chocolates and iii Reduce intake of white bread/ refined flours is the correct option.

Explanation:

• Reduction in intake of candies, chocolates, and white bread/refined flours can help in the reduction of sugar.

• Candies/chocolates and white bread/refined flours contain simple sugars or simple carbohydrates which are quickly broken down by the body to be used as energy, when the sugar enters the bloodstream, it increases the blood sugar levels and stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin which further prompts the cells to absorb more sugar from the blood.

• Fiber-rich complex carbohydrates take more time to breakdown than simple carbohydrates, due to this the sugar level remains stable, as the sugar reaches gradually in the bloodstream, because of this, complex carbohydrates digest more slowly and provide a sustainable amount of energy and make you feel full for longer period of time.

• Fat and oils provide calories and do not contribute to increasing the blood sugar level directly.
