* Absorption: When you eat sugar, it's broken down into glucose in your digestive system and absorbed into your bloodstream.
* Fuel for Cells: Glucose is your body's primary energy source. It travels to your cells where it's used to power all your functions, from breathing to thinking.
* Storage: If your body doesn't need all the glucose immediately, it's stored as glycogen in your liver and muscles for later use.
* Excess Conversion: If your body stores too much glycogen, excess glucose is converted into fat and stored in your body's fat reserves.
* Regulation: Your body regulates blood sugar levels with the help of hormones like insulin and glucagon.
Key Point: Your body doesn't have a specific organ that "removes" sugar. Instead, it utilizes, stores, and regulates glucose levels throughout the body.
