00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about,

00:12The benefits of eating low glycemic foods explained.

00:15Low glycemic foods have a low ranking on the glycemic index and can benefit your

00:18health by helping with weight loss and blood sugar control.

00:21This can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

00:251. What is the glycemic index?

00:27The glycemic index ranks how different carbs like bread, cereals, dairy,

00:32fruits, and veggies affect your blood sugar.

00:35After eating carbs, your body breaks them down into sugars, which enter the bloodstream.

00:39Some carbs cause a quick spike in blood sugar, which can lead to obesity and diabetes.

00:44Foods are grouped into high, medium,

00:46or low glycemic based on how fast they raise your blood sugar.

00:492. Which foods are low glycemic?

00:51Low glycemic foods digest slowly, so they don't spike your blood sugar as much,

00:56making them a smart choice for a low glycemic diet.

00:58High glycemic foods digest quickly, causing rapid changes in blood sugar.

01:03Examples of low glycemic foods are green veggies, chickpeas, raw carrots,

01:07kidney beans, bran cereal, avocado, broccoli, spinach, and lentils.

01:12Medium glycemic foods include sweet corn, pineapples, bananas, and rye bread.

01:17High glycemic foods include white rice, potatoes, white bread,

01:21sports drinks, and watermelon.

01:233. Health Benefits of Low Glycemic Foods

01:26High glycemic foods cause blood sugar spikes, prompting insulin production,

01:30which moves sugar from the blood to cells for energy.

01:32In contrast, low glycemic foods can benefit your health by lowering insulin production,

01:37which reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes and helps manage blood

01:40sugar levels in those with the condition.

01:42These foods, like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables,

01:45are rich in fiber, which can also help reduce bad cholesterol levels.

01:49Additionally, low glycemic foods may promote weight loss by helping you feel full,

01:53making them useful for controlling weight gain.

01:56Incorporating low glycemic foods into your diet can help you manage blood sugar,

01:59support weight loss, and reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

02:06is a simple way to improve your overall health.
