🌟 Ever wonder why some carbs energize you while others leave you feeling sluggish? 🤔 jimwhitefit, Registered Dietitian and Exercise Physiologist, is here to break down the glycemic index! 🥦💪 🔍 *What’s the glycemic index?* It ranks carbs based on how quickly they raise blood sugar. Low GI foods (0-55) provide stable energy, while high GI foods (70-100) can lead to those pesky spikes. 🍞 *High-GI foods* to watch out for include white bread, white rice, chips, and sugary treats—easy to digest but can cause energy crashes. 🥗 On the flip side, *low-GI foods* like dairy (without added sugars), legumes, brown rice, and leafy greens digest slowly, keeping blood sugar stable and energy levels steady. ✨ *Why does this matter?* Understanding the glycemic index is crucial for managing diabetes and reducing the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. A diet rich in low-GI carbs also supports gut health, immunity, and brain function! 💡For more tips, head to the iHerb Wellness Hub!...
