Low-GI Carbohydrates

Meaning

Low-GI Carbohydrates are dietary sources of carbohydrates characterized by a slow and gradual rate of digestion and absorption, resulting in a modest and sustained rise in blood glucose and a corresponding gentle insulin response. These foods possess a Glycemic Index (GI) value of 55 or less. Integrating these carbohydrates into the daily diet is a cornerstone of metabolic health, as they promote sustained energy release, enhance satiety, and support long-term insulin sensitivity.
