glycemic index and food cravings

Glycemic index refers to a rating system that measures the impact of carbohydrates in food on our blood sugar levels. It indicates how quickly a particular food raises our blood sugar compared to pure glucose. Food cravings, on the other hand, are intense desires for specific types of food, often high in sugar or carbohydrates. These cravings can be influenced by the consumption of high glycemic index foods, as they can cause rapid spikes and crashes in blood sugar levels, potentially triggering cravings.
