Understanding Diabetes and Glycemic Index

Eating healthy means knowing the nutritional value of the foods we eat. Although once that only meant vitamins and minerals, we now have a new area: the glycemic index of carbohydrates. What this does is give us an indication of how the sugar is being used in the body, and which carbohydrates have higher sugar content and should be restricted. Certain carbohydrates turn to sugar more so than others, and thus create the potential for high blood sugar. For those who are prone to diabetes, a change in diet is the best way to prevent or slow its onset. In this e-book you will learn more about this and practical things you should implement to live a healthy life.
