Wellbeing magazine
Posted by kathryn in Miscellanea
The latest edition of Wellbeing magazine is out, complete with my article, dramatically titled, Glycemic Load: what the GI scale isn’t telling you .
I’m not dissing the GI, it’s a useful scale, but unfortunately only gives limited information about the carbohydrate value of a particular food. The GI doesn’t take into account the realities of how we eat different foods. Whereas, the glycemic load (or GL) measures the affect on blood sugar levels of a normal serving.
If you’re interested in knowing more, then pick up the latest issue of Wellbeing from your newsagents. It also includes an excellent article on whether chocolate really is good for you (!), as well as yoga exercises that help with asthma and lots more.
