Glycemic Index (GI)
It's a relative ranking of carbohydrate in foods, Actually it's a value (0-100) assigned to foods based on how slowly or how quickly those foods increases blood sugar levels.
Foods with a low GI value (70) foods releases blood sugar rapidly.
Low GI foods tend to foster weight loss, while foods high on the GI scale help with energy recovery after exercise, or to offset hypo-glycemia. Long-distance runners would tend to favor high GI foods, while people with pre- or full-blown diabetes would need to concentrate on low GI foods.
