glycemic load and energy metabolism
Glycemic load is a measure of the impact a specific food has on blood sugar levels and is determined by both its glycemic index (the rate at which it raises blood sugar) and the amount of carbohydrates it contains per serving. Energy metabolism, on the other hand, refers to the overall process by which the body converts food into energy to fuel various bodily functions.
