Women Health and Care tips-Low Glycemic Index Diet


I first got to know about the miracle of Glycemic Index(GI) when I was studying in Japan back in 2003. It became a rage with the Japanese. Basic explanation is, the lower GI number of your food intake, the smaller fluctuation in our blood glucose and insulin level making it the perfect choice for weight watches and people with diabetic issues.

How do you know which food is to be taken and which to be avoided? Here’s a tip: Below is GI sample. GI number<60 low="perfect">80 is considered high=AVOID.

Food type GI number
White rice 84
Brown rice 55
White bread 95
Plain yogurt 25
Wholemeal bread 50
Pasta 65
Butter 30
Beef 46
Prawn 40
Egg 30
Chicken 45
Cabbage 80
Potato 90
Milk 25
Banana 55
