The glycaemic index (GI) is a ranking of foods based on their overall effects on blood sugar levels. This index measures how much blood sugar increases in the two or three hours after eating. A low GI (60 and below) means a smaller rise of blood sugar levels. A high GI (above 60) means a larger rise in blood sugar levels. When you make use of the glycaemic index to prepare healthy meals, it helps to keep your blood sugar levels under control. This will increase your energy levels, speed up the process of weight loss and increase athletic performance.Back to Top 49.
