LET’S KNOW
WHY GI SHOULD BE LOW

Our Great Indian Diet

is rich in carbs like wheat, potatoes, fruits, breads, etc.

Carbs, when eaten, convert into glucose to give energy. This glucose causes our blood sugar levels to spike.

Glycemic Index (GI)

simply put, is a measure of how quickly a food causes our blood sugar levels to spike. It can be both high and low.

Low GI

Low GI Foods are broken down and digested slowly by the body causing a lower and slower rise in blood sugar levels and hence are a great choice for diabetics* and prediabetics*.

High GI

Foods high on the glycemic index (GI) are digested and absorbed quickly into the bloodstream, resulting in a rapid rise and fall in blood sugar levels.

Did you know?

According to a 2019 research, 77 million individuals had diabetes* in India, which is expected to rise to over 134 million by 2045. Approximately 57% of these individuals remain undiagnosed. This makes the role of Low GI very crucial when planning your meals.
