Healthy Living – The Glycemic Index

If you’re diabetic, or know someone who is, you might be familiar with the concept of the Glycemic Index.  The GI refers to the rate at which sugar is released into the bloodstream after a meal is consumed.

You sometimes see the Low-GI symbol on certain carbohydrate food products, such as breads.  But is Low-GI food better for everyone – even those who don’t have a problem with their blood sugar?  And how can you tell what the GI of a certain food is if it’s not on the label?

Jenny Brand-Miller is a Professor of Human Nutrition at the University of Sydney and she explains just what low-GI means for your health and wellbeing.  She says Low-GI has health benefits for everyone, not just those with diabetes and can even help prevent wrinkles!
