Why The Glycemic Index Is Helpful To You

By Anna Wilson


Several individuals wrongly assume that spending countless hours in the gym will be the only way for them to lose the excess weight that they have been carrying around. Going on a diet by taking note of the food that you eat and making sure that they are healthy plays an important role in that, too. Several hours in the gym will not count if you are also eating several unhealthy foods.

The carbohydrate that is found in food releases simple sugar into the blood stream which increases the glucose in your blood. This is why opting for meals with high glucose content will not help you lose weight because these foods are easy for your body to break down and is more likely to make you hungry often. One can check the glycemic index which is a list of food containing carbohydrate and how these foods can impact the blood sugar.

Many claim that consulting the index does not help them. However, if you only take time to understand how it works, it will be very beneficial. Below are the ways that can help you better understand how it works as well as ways for you to apply the information found in the index.

Opting for unrefined versions rather than refined versions of food is helpful in achieving such. This means that there is a need for you to look for whole grain versions of food such as pasta or bread instead of the ones you most commonly purchase and take. Whole grain is low in GI and because they are still whole, the body will have a hard time breaking them down for digestion, making you feel fuller.

Many experts recommended a certain amount of fiber intake on a daily basis, yet there are also many individuals who do not even come close to meeting such recommendation. Food package labels would help you determine how much fiber is in them, while you can also eat the peels in fruits or vegetables if they are edible as fiber is mostly found on the peels. By increasing your fiber intake, you have making the food move slow inside your system.

Incorporating some protein on your diet proves to be helpful too. Peanut butter or chicken is packed with protein which is something that the body takes long to digest, too. This will not only make you feel full, it will also permits a gradual rising and dropping of sugar levels in your blood.

Healthy, unsaturated fat found in nuts or olive oil is also something that you can incorporate in your diet. Such oils are hard for the body to break down, too. However, you must be careful as consuming may also prove to be unhealthy.

Eating healthy poses bigger impacts on your body rather than just exercising alone. Sticking to the facts will help you be healthier. Ensure that you have done your research before coming up with a diet plan.

Imitating the diet that other people are on is also a no no because what may be good you them, may not be recommended for you. Be sure to stick to what is suited for your body type and lifestyle. And remember that a healthy life is a happy life.
