What is the Low Glycemic Index?
The glycemic index is a helpful tool that measures how fast a food, that contains carbohydrates, will raise your blood sugar. The values on the glycemic index chart are based on pure glucose. Glucose is a carbohydrate that absorbs very quickly into the body, which makes it a good base to compare other foods to. Glucose is given the value of 100 and all other foods are compared to that number. The closer a food is to the value of 100, the faster it will be absorbed into your bloodstream and the faster the body will use it up. And the more likely the body will store excess amount as fat. The lower the number is the slower it is absorbed into your bloodstream. The less likely the body will store the excess amount. Lower glycemic foods will normally leave you feeling fuller and satisfied longer. Following a diet full of lower glycemic foods can help keep your blood sugar level from falling too rapidly. Low glycemic foods do not cause your body to release as much insulin into your bloodstream and as a result are broken down over a longer period of time. The result is a longer, steadier release of energy, helping you to feel more alert and energetic through your day. By following these these you will also be less likely to binge eat because your blood sugar levels are in balance.
Low glycemic index can minimize fat storage and is very helpful for people who want to lose weight, those who are diabetic and extreme athletes. If you have any questions please shoot an email or call me.
