Know About The Glycemic Index!

A glycemic index is a number associated with a particular type of food that indicates the food's effect on a person's blood glucose (blood sugar) level.

Low gi diets protect us from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, stroke, depression, chronic kidney disease, formation of gall stones, neural tube defects, formation of uterine fibroids and cancers of the breast, colon, prostate and pancreas so stick with whole, natural foods that are either low or very low in their GI value.

In case you have a concern or query you can always consult a specialist & get answers to your questions!
