Title: Understanding the Glycemic Index - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: The glycemic index (GI) is a system that ranks foods based on how they affect blood sugar levels. Foods with a high GI are quickly digested and cause a rapid spike in blood sugar, while low GI foods are absorbed more slowly, leading to more stable blood sugar levels. Understanding the glycemic index can help individuals make smarter food choices to maintain balanced blood sugar. By focusing on low GI foods like whole grains, legumes, and vegetables, people can support their energy levels, manage cravings, and reduce the risk of blood sugar fluctuations throughout the day. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
