Glycemic Index Application

Meaning

Glycemic Index Application refers to the practical, clinical use of the Glycemic Index (GI), a numerical scale that ranks carbohydrate-containing foods based on their effect on blood glucose levels over a two-hour period. The application involves strategically selecting and combining foods to modulate the postprandial glucose and insulin response, which is a key factor in managing energy levels, satiety, and long-term metabolic health. Utilizing this metric is a precise nutritional tool for optimizing hormonal signaling and preventing insulin resistance.
