Slow digestion gives activeness for whole day

When we hear about pessarattu (green gram dosa) and idly south Indian breakfast food, we feel like having. All these kind of food items are for taste not for digesting immediately and mix in blood. They even help us to be active. Idly, Dosa, upma are very tasty breakfast. Having warm rice, pickle, dal, curries as favorite lunch and one curry & curd rice as dinner. Till now it is ok. The food we take contains mostly carbohydrates. These carbohydrates mix in blood, the increase of sugar level in blood. Due to this we contain energy. But some of the items in these digest very soon and mix in blood, releases energy. It keeps us active. For few hour. Some items digest very slowly and even release energy slowly. But they keep as active whole day. The fastness and slowness of digestion of digestion will be according to the presence of gleesome index levels. These are known as GI values. The food we have according to the GI values. The food we have, according to GI values in it our weight increases or decreases are depended. Normally by comparing with glucose we calculate the GI values. We should need to have food which contains less GI values. That means we should prefer the food which digest slowly. Because these food items which digest and release energy slowly will control the hunger. These give the feeling that our stomach is full. The food which contains GI values more, they digest soon and releases energy releases soon. They increase the sugar levels in our blood and change the stored glucose as fat. How much we eat, but feel that still we are hungry. This is because of GI values. So due to this have more food which leads to overweight and diabetes and some other health problems.

How much are you eating and how we are eating:

Gleesome Index is especially dependent on few things. That is the quantity of food we have, the percentage of carbohydrates, the way of cooking, the way we eat.

For example 1 cup of mosambar fruit then it contain less GI values as have fruit then it contain less GI values. As having fruit slowly, then you even get fiber also. This takes time to mix in blood and release energy. We should give importance to the food which digest slowly and release energy slowly. We have food items in different forms. That means we do not eat only rice. We take rice with curries. So the value of that food changes. Having food with the combination and in different manner is known as gleesome load. If you want to control gleesome load levels in food then you need to follow few rules or things. You have to take less food for number of times.

As GI levels are less and if you should not take food continues because you need to see the calories also. You need to observe at what time we are having food at the morning and staying till evening with that food only is not at all good. A GI value depends on the amount of carbohydrates proteins and even the food combination we prefer.

Food combinations:
