Respond to Student 1:
Based on how student 1 has presented some valid points of which I agree and also disagree with them. Rice is helpful for those who prefer to lose weight. The problem is that rice is high in the glycemic index to be precise white rice is the one with a high glycemic index. Based on what our specialists and doctors when we visit the clinics, they always emphasize that foods with high glycemic index are very destructive because they boost the blood sugar. Foods that have a high glycemic index digest faster and in the spikes the blood sugar and insulin levels. This is a disadvantage for the people with diabetes as they will suffer the wrath. When choosing carbohydrates, it’s well-advised to go for the foods that have a low glycemic index. This curbs the high blood spike and also reduces the risks of having diabetes. If it’s a must that people should take foods with a high glycemic index, then it should be limited or to be taken on low amounts because of its quick response to the blood sugar levels.
Respond to Student 2:
Student 2 has pointed out valid points concerning the glycemic index and how it works, all of which I agree with them. Different carbohydrate foods digest depending on the glycemic index ratings they possess. We can all agree that the glycemic index is the measure of the effects of foods on your blood sugar level. Foods with low and moderate glycemic index are the best choice because they digest slowly and have a slow impact on your blood sugar levels, they comprise of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. For those insisting, it’s advised that it should be limited since it digests fast and spikes the blood sugar levels. For those who prefer to lose their weight, the preferred meal is brown rice because of its low carbohydrate content which means it is low in calories. Apart from that, the rice contains antioxidants and fiber that help in weight loss. So basically, our doctors usually take this seriously when they advise us on the foods that should be eaten.
