Tutoring school subjects, the glycemic index might rarely be mentioned. In other contexts it’s important. The tutor briefly explains the glycemic index.<\/h1>\n

In yesterday’s post<\/a> I began about carbohydrates from a dietary point of view, discussing the difference between simple and complex ones.<\/p>\n

To go further with the discussion, a definition is needed: the glycemic index<\/em>.<\/p>\n

When carbohydrates are digested, they are separated into individual molecules called simple sugars. Glucose is a simple sugar, for example. The simple sugars are then absorbed into the blood, which elevates blood sugar.<\/p>\n

A food’s glycemic index<\/em> measures the rise in blood sugar caused by eating that food, relative to eating glucose itself. On the scale, glucose is given a glycemic index (GI) of 100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Next post I’ll discuss the connection between carbohydrates and the glycemic index.<\/p>\n
