What is Low GI?

The Glycemic Index (Gi) is a tool that measures how carbohydrates affect blood glucose levels in the body.

While carbohydrates are essential for our brains and most other organs and muscles during exercise, some impact our blood glucose levels more rapidly than others, causing our energy levels to rapidly fluctuate.

Have you ever felt a sugar crash? That’s the impact of blood sugar levels rising and falling too quickly. The good news is that 40 years of science has led to understanding that a diet filled with a wide variety of Low GI foods can help improve our overall daily health.
