What is Glycemic Index and how blood sugar affects your weight




The Glycemic Index (GI) is a scale that shows how fast a food with carbohydrates raises your blood sugar


Foods are rated from 0 to 100, with 100 being the fastest (like pure sugar). High-GI foods raise blood sugar quickly, while low-GI foods raise it slowly


high insulin levels encourage your body to store fat and block its ability to burn fat for energy, making it harder to lose weight



Chronic high insulin levels are a key factor in conditions like type 2 diabetes, obesity, PCOS, cardiovascular diseases, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and metabolic syndrome. Managing insulin levels through lifestyle changes like healthy eating, regular exercise, and weight management can help prevent or control these conditions
