Low GI foods help in controlling diabetes and increase the body's sensitivity to insulin. Such foods increase the sugar levels in the body to sustain energy levels for longer periods of time. This means an individual will feel less inclined to eat because energy is being slowly released into the bloodstream. Low GI foods are also believed to reduce the risk of heart disease and help in sustaining weight loss. Though it's good to identify and choose foods with low GI, other nutrients will also play an important role in health-building. More recently, Glycemic Load has been in discussion as a better option for diabetics than Glycemic Index. Glycemic Load (GL) tells us the density of carbohydrates in the foods. A food item having a high GI might have a low GL. The GL of a food is calculated by multiplying the GI by the amount of carbohydrate in grams provided by a food and dividing the total by 100.
For example, cornflakes, which has a GI of 84 has a GL of 22. Increasing the intake of whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables will ensure that the GI and GL are well controlled. Finally, it's important to ensure a healthy well-balanced food intake rather than counting the GI and GL of individual foods.
