			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nowadays, our lifestyle has significantly changed. People no longer pay attention to their diet and they start to develop bad eating habits. One of the reasons behind this fact is that they no longer have the time to prepare homemade meals, so they resort to fast food and precooked products. Unfortunately, most of these foods have a high glycemic level, which in time can lead to serious consequences. Most of you have probably heard by now of the glycemic index, which ranks carbohydrate foods according to the effect they have on blood glucose levels. If you want to develop a healthier lifestyle, then you should consider approaching a diet which consists mainly of low glycemic foods.</p>
<p>Unlike high glycemic foods, low glycemic foods are more advisable, because they are broken down gradually, over time. As they are not absorbed too quickly, low glycemic foods keep the levels of blood glucose more stable. The benefits of low glycemic foods are thus undeniable. People with stable blood glucose levels have more energy and they no longer crave for sweets. Many people always feel the need of eating chocolate or other sweet foods. If you opt for low glycemic foods, this need will start to go away, which means that you will look and feel better at the same time. Low glycemic foods keep you full longer, so you will stop gaining weight, but you will also be more active and be able to complete chores faster.</p>
<p>Moreover, low glycemic foods are perfect for those who suffer from diabetes, because they improve the blood glucose control. Remember, though, that it is important to combine low glycemic foods with the high glycemic ones. Here are some examples of low glycemic foods, which are also great providers of minerals, fibres and vitamins: oats, pasta, fruits (most of them), sweet potatoes, sweet corn, multi-grain bread, legumes, yoghurt and low-fat milk. And the list can continue. It becomes obvious that low glycemic foods are great for your health and they are the perfect way to stay fit while still providing your body with the needed amount of carbohydrates.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There has been a lot of speculation about dieting using low glycemic food however when done in the right way there is no doubt that the diet system works.  The idea is to only eat low GI food after your afternoon tea which means that dinner should really consist of meat and vegetable from the lower end of the glycemic index.  The GI rating starts at top with glucose being rating 100.  Dropping from 100 to 0 you can count all foods that are under a rating of 50 to be in the low glycemic category.  This means they are lower in sugar than the foods which are higher than 50 on the index.</p>
<p>The glycemic index has been around for quite a few years and it was Dr. D. Jenkins who designed the working low glycemic foods diet as a part of good nutrition.  Being a nutrition lecturer at the University of Toronto, Jenkins had access to good quality research material and help from other staff.  His venture turned into a very successful line of books which have sold millions of copies around the world.</p>
<p>It is important to follow the GI rules when you are trying to lose weight through diet and exercise because many misconceptions have been made about which foods are healthy and which are not.  Foods that are high on the GI chart turn quickly into glucose in the body and when they are not needed by the body as fuel or are not stored as glycogen then they are converted into fat cells to be stored for later use.  This is where excess fat is often accumulated by people, through eating high GI foods and not burning the ready fuels.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Twenty years ago, people thought very little about the food they were putting into their bodies. There was a general acceptance that the food was generally good for you; you have 5 fruits and vegetables every day and have a large meal with meat and two vegetables once every day and you could see yourself as healthy. However, recently there has been a lot of work done into nutrition and what our body actually needs and this has unearthed some very interesting things about our diets and the effects that they have on our bodies. For example, there is the idea that you now have foods with a certain glycemic index. The glycemic index is a measure of how rapidly a carbohydrate breaks down and releases energy; high glycemic index foods include such things as chocolate because the energy is released very quickly through digestion.</p>
<p>Foods with a low glycemic index are essential when you are going to be doing an extended period of exercise as they will give you a slow and sustained burst of energy. Most fruits and vegetables, except for those that are very high in carbohydrates (such as potatoes) have a low glycemic index. Others include such products as whole grain rice, cereal, milk, yoghurt and pulses. The general rule is that, if the food is low in carbohydrates (such as dairy products) the likelihood is that they will have a low glycemic index. Therefore, start the day with cereal and milk; it will give you energy throughout the day!</p>
