The Glycemic Index Helps Make You Stay Healthy
D
o you suffer from food cravings?
Does sugar make you feel real
good? People with coronary heart
disease, diabetes, kidney disease and age-
related macular degeneration have got to get
their blood sugar under control to stop
incessant cravings. Cravings are come-
downs after blood sugar overdose. Long
term Hyperglycemia causes many long-
term health problems including heart dis-
ease, eye, kidney and nerve damage.
Many of the things you were taught were
healthy: orange juice, wheat toast, corn
flakes, carrots, are actually to be avoided.
They cause blood sugar surges.
Blood Sugar
The glycemic index (GI) provides a meas-
ure of how quickly blood sugar levels rise
after eating a particular type of food. Differ-
ent foods have considerably different
effects on blood sugar levels.
The glycemic index is measured relative
to consumption of pure glucose. On the
glycemic index scale, each food is assigned
an index number from 1 to 100. Glucose has
a glycemic index of 100.
Low-GI food release glucose more slowly
and steadily, which leads to much better
after-meal blood levels.

A high-GI food causes a very rapid rise in
blood glucose levels and is only suitable
for energy recovery after vigorous exer-
cise.
Satisfaction
Glycemic index (GI) diet plans are based
on the concept that low-glycemic foods are
more satisfying than high-glycemic foods.
Low-GI foods take longer to absorb and
help dieters feel full longer, so they are less
likely to overeat. By contrast high-GI foods
break down faster, leaving you hungry and
less satisfied.
Foods with lower GI scores reduce hunger
in obese children. Critics of the USDA’s
MyPlate say that in school meals potatoes
should be replaced with low GI vegatables
like broccoli and cabbage.
