What is the Glycemic Index?
Today we know that not all carbohydrates are created equal. They actually can behave very differently in our bodies.
The Glycemic Index is a measure of carbohydrate quality. It is a ranking from 0 to 100 that rates how much a carbohydrate - a sugar or a starch - affects a person's blood glucose level and its immediate impact on it. A rating of 100 is given to pure glucose, and all other carbohydrates are measured against it.
It's proven that the lower, more steady and controlled a person can keep their blood glucose level, the better it is for controlling weight, hunger and energy, not to mention the huge health benefits it can help promote.
