Detailed explanation-1: -The glycemic index classifies carbohydrate-containing foods according to their potential to raise your blood sugar level. Foods with a high glycemic index value tend to raise your blood sugar higher and faster than do foods with a lower value.
Detailed explanation-2: -The glycemic index measures the rise in blood glucose in response to a standard portion of food, and the insulin index measures a rise in blood insulin in response to a standard portion of food.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because high GI foods cause a sudden spike in the blood sugar level, large amounts of insulin are secreted in order to process the sugar in the blood, causing a spike in insulin secretion to handle the sugar.
Detailed explanation-4: -The glycemic index ranks carbohydrates on a scale from 0 to 100 based on how quickly and how much they raise blood sugar levels after eating. Foods with a high glycemic index, like white bread, are rapidly digested and cause substantial fluctuations in blood sugar.
