New research shows that starting the day with a low glycemic breakfast can have a positive impact on blood sugars for the rest of the day, helping to prevent spikes in blood sugar through the morning and also after the next morning. Details of the research were presented at the Institute of Food Technologists’ Wellness 12 meeting.
The findings were presented by Kantha Shelke, Ph.D., principal, Corvus Blue LLC, and Richard Mattes, M.P.H., R.D., distinguished professor of foods and nutrition at Purdue University' They also stated that low glycemic foods eaten at breakfast increased satiety and fullness making people less likely to over eat later in the day; previous research has established that low glycemic foods such as beans, pulses and oats make you feel fuller for longer.
The glycemic index measures how quickly a food raise your blood sugars: the quicker a food is digested, the quicker it raises your blood sugar. Foods with a lower glycemic index have less of an impact on your blood sugar and give blood glucose a slower, steadier rise and are thought to be much better for you.
Kantha Shelke, Ph.D., said:
“We can reverse pre-diabetes and prevent it from becoming diabetes. Food has become the reason for what’s ailing us, but it can actually be a solution in a number of different ways.”
Low glycemic breakfast foods include oatmeal or porridge or other oat-based cereal and rye or pumpernickel bread.
