This chart is something that we all need to have and understand. It changes everything when you look at the glycemic index of everything you eat daily instead of calories. I definitely recommend this chart for anyone that is trying to live a healthy lifestyle! Build a healthier lifestyle with glycemic index in mind. Plus, walk daily and strength train and you are on your way to a better you! This chart is priceless!

The chart is easy to use and extremely helpful. Some of the items on here were real eye openers.

For instance I was completely surprised to find that Cranberry Juice Cocktail and Pita bread have the same glycemic index in the medium but on the cusp of the high range, but the real eye opener for me was the very last item on the beverage list as an electrolyte replenishment beverage. As a group fitness instructor teaching sometimes 3-4 classes in a row, that was my go to replenisher. This list is making me revisit my choices

I love this chart. It's extremely easy to follow and I can still eat yummy food. My late mother had diabetes type 2. I never want that. I know that glycation also makes you age faster. Glycation accelerates aging by causing sugar molecules to bind to proteins, creating harmful compounds called Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs). These AGEs stiffen and damage proteins like collagen and elastin, leading to visible signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging skin, and can also contribute to internal aging processes like inflammation, oxidative stress, and damage to organs. I don't want that for me.
