What is the Glycemic Index? The glycemic index (GI) is a measure of how much a food rich in carbohydrates increases blood sugar levels in the body. The high GI foods increase the level of glucose in the blood more than low GI foods.

Foods rich in carbohydrates are not alike! Total carbohydrate-rich foods such as vegetables have low GI values, while foods that are processed flour and sugar, high values of GI. A donut increased blood sugar levels much faster and much higher than with a cup of broccoli.

Both types of food are digested in different parts of the intestine and are digested in a different environment (carbohydrates, either in the mouth or in the small intestine in an alkaline medium, proteins are digested in the stomach).
3rd Large quantities of proteins should not be taken simultaneously with large amounts of fat (such as dal and ghee). The reason for this is the same as the above rules.
