SOME FOODS ITEMS TO CONTROL OBESITY/ BP/DIABETES/ HEART PROBLEMS. PHYSICAL EXERCISE OR WALKING MUST.
NOTE: Make vegetables and fruits the main food and cereals and millets the least supplements.
There are three kinds of food lists posted in this blog. 1) food list based on glycemic load, 2) food list based on glycemic index and 3) food list in alphabetical order.
1) FOOD LIST BASED ON GLYCEMIC LOAD
1) The glycemic load (GL) of food is a number that estimates how much the food will raise a person's blood glucose level after eating it.
2) One unit of glycemic load approximates the effect of consuming one gram of glucose.
3) Glycemic load accounts for how much carbohydrate is in the food and how much each gram of carbohydrate in the food raises blood glucose levels.
4) Glycemic load is based on the glycemic index (GI), and is calculated by multiplying the grams of available carbohydrate in the food by the food's glycemic index, and then dividing by 100.
