Foods with low GI value include coarse grains, beans, milk, potatoes (eaten raw or cold-treated) and fruits with more fruit acids (apples, cherries, kiwis, etc.). ), whole wheat or high fiber food, compound diet food (jiaozi, wonton, etc. ) and fructose.

GI = (glycemic index) "glycemic index"-an index reflecting the degree of blood sugar increase caused by food, which is the reaction of blood sugar production after eating.

Extended data

1, GI & gt75% of foods are high GI foods, and foods with GI≤55 are low GI foods. Foods with high GI are digested quickly and absorbed well after entering the intestine, and glucose can quickly enter the blood, so it is easy to cause hypertension and hyperglycemia. However, foods with low GI stay in the intestine for a long time and release slowly. After entering the blood, the peak value of glucose is low, which causes less postprandial blood glucose reaction and correspondingly reduces the required insulin, thus avoiding the violent fluctuation of blood sugar, preventing hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia and effectively controlling blood sugar.

2. In addition, foods with low GI are very prone to satiety and low insulin level, and insulin can promote the synthesis of glycogen, fat and protein, so eating foods with low GI can generally help the body burn fat, reduce fat storage and achieve slimming effect. And foods with high GI are just the opposite.

3. Generally speaking, foods with a GI value below 40 are safe for diabetics to eat. If you eat food with high GI, your blood sugar will rise in a short time. Insulin will arouse your body's function and turn the calories you eat into fat. However, the digestion and absorption of low GI food will be relatively slow, which will keep the blood sugar level in a relatively stable state, so it can bring a longer satiety. When there is no excess sugar in the blood, people are not easy to get fat.
