What is the Significance of the Glycemic Index?
• Low GI means a smaller rise in blood glucose levels after meals • Low GI diets can help people lose weight • Low GI diets can improve the body’s sensitivity to insulin • High GI foods help re-fuel carbohydrate stores after exercise • Low GI can improve diabetes control • Low GI foods keep you fuller for longer • Low GI can prolong physical endurance (This information about glycemic index significance is taken directly from the glycemic index website: http://www.glycemicindex.com/) People who include more whole organic foods in their diet and keep their blood sugar within moderate ranges seem to enjoy just about the best results of diet planning that I have seen. Many trendy diets come and go, but those diets based on the principles of whole organic foods and moderate blood sugar offer the longest-lasting benefits.
