Glycemic index of foods

Glycemic Index (GI) versus Sugar level of foods

Ano ito?
👉 Sukat kung gaano kabilis tumataas ang blood sugar pagkatapos kumain.

GI Scale:
• 🟢 Low GI: ≤55
• 🟡 Medium GI: 56–69
• 🔴 High GI: ≥70

Nakakaapekto sa GI:
✔ Fiber
✔ Protein & taba
✔ Paraan ng pagluto
✔ Pagka-process ng pagkain

Halimbawa:
• Beans, oats → 🟢 Low GI
• Brown rice → 🟡 Medium GI
• White bread → 🔴 High GI

Sugar Level (Sugar Content)

Ano ito?
👉 Dami ng asukal (grams) sa isang pagkain o inumin.

Saan makikita?
📋 Nutrition Facts Label

Kasama dito:
• 🍎 Natural sugar (prutas, gatas)
• 🍭 Added sugar (softdrinks, kendi)

Halimbawa:
• Banana (1 medium) → ~14 g sugar
• Apple (1 medium) → ~19 g sugar
• Softdrinks (1 can) → ~39 g sugar
Hindi sila pareho!

✔ High sugar pero Low GI
👉 Prutas (may fiber kaya mabagal ang sugar rise)

⚠️ Low sugar pero High GI
👉 White rice, white bread

📌 GI = bilis ng pagtaas
📌 Sugar level = dami ng asukal

Practical Tips (Para sa Patients)

✅ Piliin ang Low GI foods
✅ Limitahan ang added sugars
✅ Ipares ang carbs sa fiber + protina
✅ Mas mainam para sa Diabetes, GDM, at weight control
