Homeostasis of blood glucose levels is more easily maintained because the drastic changes to glucose concentrations are diminished, without feelings of the hunger or fatigue. The hunger experienced during bouts of low blood sugar, in addition to disrupting short-term homeostasis, can be a contributing factor to over eating and long-term problems like obesity. Glucose is also taken up by adipose cells during the spike in blood glucose and can be converted into fat. This along with exaggerated portion size, sedentary lifestyles, and poor nutritional choices are contributors to the world wide obesity epidemic. By consuming more calories from natural sources containing complex carbohydrates, your body can maintain homeostasis of blood glucose levels more effectively.
This can reduce your risk of gaining weight and improve your overall health. It can even help you keep focused while studying for that important biology exam.
