Low-Glycemic Nutrition

Meaning

Low-Glycemic Nutrition is a highly structured dietary strategy focused on the preferential consumption of foods that predictably elicit a minimal and gradual rise in postprandial blood glucose and circulating insulin levels. This nutritional approach rigorously prioritizes complex, unrefined carbohydrates, fiber-rich whole foods, and a balanced, steady intake of macronutrients, consciously avoiding rapidly digested, high-glycemic index foods. Clinically, this framework is widely employed to significantly improve systemic insulin sensitivity, effectively manage body weight, and substantially reduce the long-term risk of developing type 2 diabetes and associated cardiovascular pathologies.
