Collection: Low GI Foods

1. Glycemic Index (GI)

For general human health and metabolic stability, a low glycemic index is considered good.

Here is a straightforward breakdown of why:

• Low GI Foods: These are digested and absorbed slowly by the body. They cause a gradual, steady rise in blood sugar and insulin levels, which provides sustained energy and helps keep you feeling full for longer.

• High GI Foods: These digest very quickly, causing rapid spikes in blood sugar that are often followed by a sharp crash. Consistent consumption of high GI foods can lead to energy slumps, frequent hunger, and over time, can contribute to insulin resistance.
