What is Delayed Glycemic Response and why is it so important?
Delayed glycemic response refers to the sustained and gradual increase in blood glucose levels as a result of consuming low glycemic index foods. By definition, the consumption of high-glycemic index foods results in higher and more rapid increases in blood glucose levels than the consumption of low-glycemic index foods.
The glycemic index is a ranking of carbohydrates based on their immediate effect on blood glucose (blood sugar) levels. It compares foods gram for gram of carbohydrate. Carbohydrates that breakdown quickly during digestion have the highest glycemic indexes. The blood glucose response is fast and high. Carbohydrates that break down slowly releasing glucose gradually into the blood stream have low glycemic indexes
Lowering insulin levels is not only a key ingredient in weight loss, but is also viewed as one of the secrets to long-term health. low glycemic index foods keep you fuller for longer, also aiding in weight management or weight loss goals. Different varieties of foods will vary depending on their relative fiber or sugar content.
