Dolores believes that resting after consuming a carbohydrate-rich snack will initiate digestion faster. What would be the best advice for Delores?
A) She should spend 10-15 minutes exercising, instead of resting, to help her body break down the carbohydrates faster.
B) Resting will have no effect because her body will not begin to break down the carbohydrates until they reach the small intestine, approximately 2 hours after the snack.
C) Resting makes no difference to the rate at which the hydrochloric acid in her stomach breaks down all the carbohydrates.
D) Since she has already begun carbohydrate digestion in the mouth through the action of salivary amylase, resting will not help.
