The Glycemic index is an extremely important parameter for when you're looking at
foods and when you're trying to lose weight
and when you're trying to get all the nutrients you can
while at the same time not taking in a lot of
sugars
its really difficult to find a food source that has a lot of
nutrients you need while at the same time having a low glycemic index
and I think that that's one of the powerful things about shakeology
well help you see results. Shakeology beach bodies daily nutrition drink
scored a 24 on the glycemic index scale
and that's exciting news for anyone looking to improve their overall health
the glycemic index which measures how quickly carbohydrates turn into glucose
or sugar in your blood stream
is an important barometer for helping regulate blood sugar in with
pre-diabetes on the rise
it's important for everyone to pay attention to the glycemic index
Glycemic index is basically your sugar control you don't want your sugar getting
very low
you don't use your getting very high your body needs carbs for feel
but it needs the right kind. So look for foods low on the GI Scale because they are
broken down more slowly
a slower breakdown of carbs provides a steady level of energy throughout your
day
this is the fuel that powers the brain and muscles and it's important to everyone
regardless of your shape or activity level. Foods with an index level of fifty
five or less on the glycemic scale
help maintain steady blood sugar levels. They include fruits and vegetables
nuts, beans and Shakeology. At 24 on the GI scale Shakeology is very low and very
healthy for you
foods with a low glycemic index like Shakeology
and like fruits and vegetables that Shakeology contains
you get a more sustained release of energy so your energy levels go up
and they stay up for a longer period of time. Shakeology was rated and certified at 24
by glycemic index laboratories
the premier glycemic testing facility in North America. Having such a low glycemic
index is
pretty amazing. You really think you're drinking a milkshake.
But it's a shake thats nutritious for you. With only 9 to 11 grams of sugar per
serving
an index rate of 24. Shakeology has a very low glycemic impact.
If you're a pre-diabetic and you incorporated the shake in your lifestyle you could
potentially and
get your sugars back to normal. I am a diabetic who is injecting insulin twice
a day
I started drinking Shakeology and now my tests show my blood sugar levels are
normal.
I drink it before my workouts and it sustains a healthy blood sugar level
all the way to the end. By avoiding carbs and the high end of the GI scale
like white bread, muffins, pretzels, or even some breakfast cereals
you escape that dreaded crashing feeling. Those types of carbs rush into the
bloodstream
and give you a spike of energy but only temporarily.
Whenever you have a rapid rise and fall in your glycemic index
that's when you get that crashing feeling and obviously no one likes to
feel like they're crashing cause thats one before they have even lower energy they may have
started with.
If your sugar levels spike repeatedly throughout the day
that put excessive stress on your pancreas. Your pancreas functions as the
great equalizer
by releasing insulin to regulate blood sugar levels but if your pancreas works
overtime combatting sugar level spikes
it can lead to health problems. Heightened sugar levels actually damaged blood
vessels
and that's one of the reasons that people get coronary disease, coratid
disease
vascular disease so Shakeology is great because it not only tastes good but it's
good for you. Following a low glycemic index diet that includes Shakeology can
help improve your overall health.
