Did you know?  Aiming for meals that have a lower total Glycemic Index is beneficial for everyone ~ both adults and children.  Below are some areas captured that show improvements with this strategy:

• Management of PCOS (Polycystic ovarian syndrome)
• Insulin issues (blood glucose levels)
• Fertility factors (insulin is involved in the regulation of the GnRH hormone which also affects the Luteinizing and Follicle Stimulating Hormone as well as plays a role in healthy levels of androgens in the body)

The GI of a food is the measure of the speed at which glucose enters the bloodstream after eating it.  The more fibre a food has, the lower its GI.

Tip:  You can reduce the GI of a meal by adding high-fibre foods, particularly those rich in soluble fibre.  This increases the viscosity of food in the digestive tract and slows down digestion and absorption.
