In Viteliah we show you a new table of glycemic index: The good and bad carbs.
Here you will find a wonderful glycemic index chart illustrating how your level of blood sugar rises after eating certain foods. The general consensus is that a GI of 55 or less is beneficial and the lower the GI, the better. For example, the Stevia extract has a glycemic index of zero, which means it will cost to find a more healthy product.
However sucrose (table sugar), has a GI of 100. Recent developments in the treatment of diabetes have indicated that it is most probably caused not only by the sugar itself but mostly because foods that contains many carbohydrates. Therefore, if you are a diabetic, you should avoid any kind of food and drink above GI of 55.
Please note that the glycemic index chart found below is not exhaustive and only about being informative. Please consult your doctor or nutritionist if you plan to change your eating habits.
To understand well how to use this table, examine first the differences between good and bad carbs.
- Good carbs table glycemic index:
Good carbohydrates are slowly or not at all absorbed by the human body. They only cause a minor change in the levels of blood sugar. Their GI is less than 55. Examples of good carbohydrates are whole wheat bread, rye bread, legumes, mushrooms and certain fruit. For detailed information GI fruits, please visit the diet without sugar.
- Bad carbs:
The bad carbohydrates are absorbed quickly by the body and increase the risk of causing hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Their GI is 55 and the higher the number the higher the risk! Examples of "bad carbs" are sugar, maple syrup, corn, beet and potatoes. If you are diabetic or have early diabetes is to consume as little as possible.
