I had to reshare this. I see all sorts of crazy nutrition stuff on Facebook, well here is some truly important nutrition, weight management and health important information that most of you do not understand and therefore will be overlooked. For once in your life, try ignoring the fads and learn something important and beneficial. THIS IS REAL HEALTH INFORMATION. As a starter, GLYCEMIC INDEX is a ranking of carbohydrates on a scale from 0 to 100 according to the extent to which they raise blood sugar levels after eating. Foods with a high GI are those which are rapidly digested and absorbed and result in marked fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Low-Glycemic Index foods, by virtue of their slow digestion and absorption, produce gradual rises in blood sugar and insulin levels, and have proven benefits for health. Low Glycemic Index diets also have been shown to improve both glucose and lipid levels in people with diabetes (type 1 and type 2). They have benefits for weight control because they help control appetite and delay hunger. Low Glycemic Index diets also reduce insulin levels and insulin resistance. In shorts, insulin is your worst enemy in your effort to lose weight. Insulin also antagonizes and suppress LEPTIN, the hormone that help you burn calories and lose weight.
