The glycemic index (GI) is a measure of how a single food will raise your blood glucose level and it’s a great way to separate good carbs from bad ones. A food that’s highly glycemic will be digested quickly and is absorbed immediately, sending your blood sugar level sky-high. The problem is that you crash quickly and end up feeling sluggish.
If you eat the same portion of a low-glycemic food, your body has to work harder to break it down. The benefit is that the sugar from the food will released into the bloodstream more slowly, giving you steady energy over a longer period.
