Much emphasis is placed on the glycemic index of food. What is the glycemic index of food and how does it affect our health?
The glycemic index measures how rapidly food releases its sugar content into the bloodstream. Higher glycemic foods raise blood sugar which then in turn requires insulin (a hormone from the pancreas) to push sugar inside the cell. Raised glycemic index equates to higher insulin which creates inflammation, which may turn into chronic inflammation which gives you aging and disease.
