Reduce Blood Sugar Levels with Glycemic Food

The Glycemic Index, known as GI, is a ranking of carbohydrate in foods according to

how they affect blood glucose levels. The number can vary from 0 to 100, so we have low-GI
foods, moderate- GI foods, and high-GI foods. Low-GI foods are processed slower than highGI foods, meaning that they reduce insulin levels and contribute to weight loss.
Low -GI Foods
Low-GI foods are the ones with a GI between 0 and 54. You should
consume these foods regularly, preferably on a daily basis.

Moderate -GI Foods
Moderate-GI foods are the ones with GI between 55 and 69 and you
should consume them in moderate amounts.

Diet heavily affects the overall health, especially blood sugar levels. In case you experience
any of the 14 signs of high blood sugar levels, make some dietary changes and ensure you
are eating low and moderate-GI foods in order to avoid sugar spikes and further
complications.
