Why is The Glycemic Index Important?
What is It?
The glycemic index was developed to inform us about the degree to which carbohydrate foods raise blood sugar.
Several popular reduced-cabohdrate diets, such as the South Beach Diet use the gycemic index. Yet, there are
contradictory and somewhat confusing issues regarding using these numbers when choosing specific foods to eat.
|
Why Knowing the Glycemic Value of Foods Important?
Alot of reliable research shows that eating a diet with a relatively low blood glucose impact can protect
us from diabetes, and likely from heart disease as well. Therefore, choosing foods that are less likely to rapidly
raise our blood glucose can be a healthy way to eat, especially for those prone to insulin resistance, diabetes,
and heart disease.
|
How Is It Calculated?
A group of people will eat a food with a standard amount of carbohydrate, usually 50 grams. Then their blood is
tested every 15 minutes to determine how much and how fast their blood sugar rises. The higher and faster it rises, the
higher the score. The index assigns foods a number on a scale of one to 100, in comparison with pure glucose, which has
a reference score of 100. Under 55 is considered to be a low GI, above 70 is high and in between is medium.
|
What Should You Do?
There is no doubt that eating a low glycemic diet is a Good Thing. And the research on the glycemic index does
give us a few clear guidelines, such as to minimize potato consumption. However, I think at this stage of the game, it
is a better idea to just go with total amount of carbohydrate. Carbohydrate does raise blood glucose, and insulin must
be released to stabilize it. The easiest way to limit the problems caused by high glycemic foods is simply to follow
a reduced-carbohydrate diet
Staggered Push Up
How To Do It: Place feet in a semi wide stance and arms are staggered, with the front
arm at least 6-8inches in front of the other. Do a set of 10, then switch arms.(as pictured).
BY THE NUMBERS
300 to 500: Maximum number of miles you should run or walk in athletic shoes before replacing them. 3 to 6:
Maximum number of months you should wear athletic shoes that you use at least three times a week.
