Recent trends reveal that more people are making healthier choices at the grocery store. A survey by the Grocery Manufacturers of America found that 73% of primary shoppers are now purchasing more nutritious foods and beverages.
This shift largely stems from a growing health consciousness in America, as many aim to lose weight and get fit. Nutrition expert Sherry Torkos highlights that consumers are becoming disillusioned with ineffective fad diets and are instead turning to tools like the glycemic index (GI). The GI ranks foods based on their effect on blood sugar levels, guiding better food choices.
Carbohydrates are central to the American diet, providing about half of most people's calories. However, simple carbohydrates, such as those found in potatoes, white bread, and pasta, are quickly digested and lead to high blood sugar levels. A promising approach to manage this is using supplements with white bean extract, which can lower the GI of carb-heavy foods. According to Dr. Jay Udani, adding 3,000 milligrams of the Phase 2 brand white bean extract significantly reduced the GI of white bread by 39.07%.
Despite efforts to reduce fat intake, excessive carbohydrate consumption persists. This often results in replacing fat calories with carbohydrate calories, which can lead to increased intake of high-GI foods. Such diets contribute to "diabesity," a term for type 2 diabetes linked to obesity. Additionally, individuals with excess weight face increased risks for several health issues, including hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and some cancers.
To combat this, Torkos advises consumers to focus on low-glycemic foods such as whole grains, most fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes. These foods digest slowly, preventing spikes in blood glucose and insulin levels. By embracing these choices, you can enhance your overall health and well-being.
