Hi! I'm robo-Suzie and today I'll talk to you about Glycemic Index and Diabetes Criteria.
-
Also don't forget to check out the link below, to find out, how this guy reversed his diabetes!
-
Turns out, the diabetes industry is selling us fake research!
-
But back to our topic.
-
When it comes to diabetes the optimal diet should include a low glycemic index. The glycemic
-
index and diabetes criteria revolve around the fruit issue due to many fruits containing
-
a high glycemic index. The question here is, is it safe to consume fruit on a regular basis
-
if you are a diabetic and it a regular consumption of fruit good when you are trying to lose
-
weight.
-
Common fruits that do not have a high glycemic index and the index is within a safe index
-
range are kiwi 47, banana 51, grapefruit 25, oranges 31, papaya 56 and mango 41. However,
-
watermelon has a high index of 72. An interesting factor that scientists have now proved is
-
that the index is not that reliable when it comes to predicting the cause and effect food
-
has on blood glucose levels, insulin and cholesterol levels.
-
Diabetics need to be concerned about the glycemic index of certain foods that are otherwise
-
fiber and nutrient rich. For instance fiber that is present in nuts has far more significance
-
in blood sugar levels than does the glycemic index. Carbohydrates that are high glycemic
-
such as various grains, which belong to the glycemic index and diabetes index, are not
-
recommended by researchers. However, these types of carbohydrates will not elevate the
-
blood sugars if the grains are eaten whole and the overall content of the diet is low
-
fat.
-
Glucose intolerance and insulin insensitivity or resistance is linked to high glycemic foods
-
when eaten with a large amount of fat. High levels of insulin is secreted when there is
-
a lack of insulin receptors in the cell surface and this is caused by eating foods that are
-
high in saturated fats. A low insulin response is notable when carbohydrates are eaten which
-
do not contain fat and this includes fruits.
-
When diabetics follow a low glycemic index and diabetes diet this could cause further
-
problems due to eating more foods that have a high fat content, as this will cause the
-
body to produce more insulin due to the diabetic being insulin resistant. The index is not
-
extremely accurate, due to the fact that foods react differently from person to person, so
-
how can this index be accurate.
-
Vegetables and fruit have a relatively low index, but this is not important. Even foods
-
that have a high index, there has been no concrete evidence that these affect diabetes
-
or any sugar metabolic disorders when it comes to a low fat diet. There are several cultures
-
such as the Chinese that diets comprise of mainly high glycemic foods such as rice and
-
potatoes and there is zero percent incidence of diabetes due to their diet.
-
People that advise people especially diabetics to refrain from certain vegetables and fruit
-
due to the glycemic index and diabetes is definitely not a necessity. This is stopping
-
people from eating natural foods. Natural foods are healthier than refined foods no
-
matter their status on the index.
