What is the glycemic index? 🤔
The glycemic index of a food refers to that food's effect on blood sugar levels. Blood sugar levels rise after eating foods containing carbohydrates (sugars and starches). Different foods containing carbohydrates affect blood sugar levels differently.
The glycemic index compares the rise in blood sugar after eating a certain food with the rise that occurs after eating a reference food, often glucose (Glucose: a very basic sugar different from table sugar). A food often used as an example is white bread. It has a relatively high glycemic index of 70, compared to glucose, which is 100.
Why is the glycemic index important? ✅
The greater the rise in blood sugar, the more insulin is produced to store it. Over time, this can lead to higher insulin levels, which can lead to inflammation, weight gain, and resistance to insulin's ability to store sugar.
The end result can be progression to type 2 diabetes.
How can I use the glycemic index to improve my health? 💯
By carefully choosing meals, you can influence your appetite and energy, as well as your blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. If you have trouble controlling how much you eat, have hypoglycemia, diabetes, or high triglyceride and cholesterol levels, paying attention to the glycemic index when choosing your meals can help.
