Glycemic Index - What is it? | Rochelle T Parks

Today is another episode of Ro's Tips For Healthy Living! The topic for today is the glycemic index. Basically, the glycemic index of a food tells you how quickly the carbohydrates in the food affect your blood sugar. Glycemic Index Range: Low - 55 and lower Moderate between - 56-69 High - 70 and above BUT, for someone who is prediabetic or diabetic, they need to stick to a glycemic index that is under 50. The lower the glycemic index, the slower the rise in blood sugar, and the higher the glycemic index, the faster the blood sugar rises. Why are you struggling with your blood sugar? Are you eating these? 💥Some foods that are HIGH on the glycemic index are breads, rice, potatoes, fries, cereal, cereal bars, cakes, candy, pies...HIGH SUGAR foods! 💥The deadly 5 fruits that are HIGH on the glycemic index are pineapple, watermelon, grapes, bananas, and mango are HIGH IN SUGAR!!!! 💥These dried fruits that are bought in the store - cranberries, dates, raisins are HIGH IN SUGAR!!!
