The Glycemic index (GI) was originally designed for people with diabetes to help keep their blood sugar levels under control. But whether you are diabetic or not the GI is a useful tool for all of us when we are planning healthy meals and making food choices.

What is Glycemic Index??
The GI is a measure of the rate at which our bodies break down the carbs in our food to energy, in the form of glucose. The speed at which this digestion occurs, and the amount it raises glucose levels in the blood is measured by a score on the GI scale. Glucose, is the reference point for all other foods and carries a score of 100. Foods with low GI ratings, release their energy more slowly and help prevent sugar spikes
So as per American Diabetes Association, Food with low Glycemic Index is best food for Health and Diabetes which also helps in Weight Management, Cholesterol Control and Prevents Heart Diseases.
