Gi stands for Glycemic Index and is a measure of the impact of food on your blood sugar. Foods with a low Gi will raise blood sugar levels slowly and over a longer period.
Who should be eating Multiseed Low GI bread?
We all need to watch the Gl of our day-to-day diet, but there are a few groups that it's essential for:
People with diabetes
Diabetics can't control their blood sugar levels well. A healthy, low-Gl diet has been shown to help keep blood sugar levels under control.
People with pre-diabetes
This is where your blood sugar is higher than normal, but not high enough to count as diabetes. Healthy eating - especially low-GI foods - can improve blood sugar levels and reduce your risk of developing full diabetes.
People who are overweight
While not all the experts are convinced, there's evidence that lowering the overall Gl of your diet by eating low-Gl foods may help you lose weight. Some food that's low Gl could be high in kilojoules, so don't rely on it alone.
People with high cholesterol and heart disease
This is also debated, but there's some good evidence that low-Gl diets may help improve heart disease risk factors.
People with hypoglycemia
Low-GI foods give a less dramatic and more sustained blood sugar release, so some people may find that low-Gl snacks are useful to get them through between meals.
Low GI bread has a low glycemic index, which means it does not increase your blood sugar level straight after consumption, but rather releases energy to the body slowly so that you can have sustained energy throughout your day.
Low GI breads contain polyunsaturated fats which are great for heart health, and they are free from cholesterol.
