Low glycemic index

Low glycemic index

Glycemic Index is an indication of how quickly carbohydrates will increase the blood glucose level after ingestion relative to pure glucose (GI 100) and depending upon the glycemic response, they are classified as low GI (<55), medium GI (55-70) and high GI (>70) foods. GI helps to track your carbohydrate intake and keep your blood sugar levels in check.

Foods with high GI cause significant fluctuations in blood sugar after ingestion leading to more frequent hunger pangs. This could lead to excessive calorie intake and weight gain and possibly cause obesity.

People are becoming increasingly conscious and concerned about the management of blood glucose and are always in search of products that can help to maintain their blood glucose levels. Shifting to low glycemic foods is one of the most important changes that must be made in our eating patterns to address the rising prevalence of diseases like diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases.
