glycemic index and metabolic syndrome
Glycemic index refers to a numerical ranking system that indicates how quickly a carbohydrate-containing food increases blood sugar levels after consumption. It helps in understanding how different foods affect our blood sugar levels. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of health conditions that include obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and abnormal cholesterol levels. This syndrome increases the risk of developing other serious health problems like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
