High GI or Low GI?




The Glycemic Index is a way of classifying foods. Each food is rated according to the reaction it causes on blood glucose levels, and is given a ranking out of 100. Glucose has a score of 100. High GI foods cause fast, and large increases in blood glucose levels, resulting in large releases of insulin to store the glucose. A diet of high GI foods can cause the body to become insulin resistant. This means the insulin is much less effective at controlling blood glucose levels, and a continued high GI diet is likely to result in type 2 diabetes or heart disease.
Health professionals therefore recommend a diet consisting of low GI foods.

  3. Greetings! Quick question that's completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when viewing from my iphone. I'm trying to find a template or
    plugin that might be able to fix this issue. If you
    have any suggestions, please share. Many thanks!
