glycemic index and blood sugar control
Glycemic index refers to a ranking system that categorizes carbohydrates based on their effect on blood sugar levels. It measures how quickly a particular food can raise blood glucose levels after consumption. Blood sugar control, on the other hand, refers to the regulation and maintenance of stable blood sugar levels within a healthy range. Understanding the glycemic index of foods can help individuals manage their blood sugar levels, especially for those with conditions like diabetes, by making informed choices about carbohydrate-rich foods.
