To this attitude we have to say: Enough is enough! Enough of diets devoid of the things that we need the most. Enough of drugging our kids into submission when they respond negatively to the ‘Frankenfoods’ that are such a seemingly normal part of everyday life. Be prepared to discover some amazing truths about ADD/ADHD over the next few weeks. Before we delve a little deeper however, it would perhaps be good to just briefly discuss some of the theory behind the Clycemic Index (GI). This will make it very clear why it is so important if to come to grips with ‘GI issues’ if we really want to understand optimum human nutrition. Glycemic Index (GI) Glycemic Index (GI) is a ranking system, scaled from 1-100 in which specific carbohydrate raise the blood sugar after it is eaten. Foods that are digested quickly will have a very high GI Index. These are the type of food that creates strong fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Foods with low GI Index are foods that are slowly digested. These foods encourage steady absorption of nutrients and steady rise of insulin as well as blood sugar level. Taking in more foods with low GI could mean a complete turn around on one’s well being. Here are more reasons why you should opt for food with low GI: - Improved Weight Management: Low GI foods can help you to avoid the ‘feast – famine’ cycle that is often associated with weight gain. Since Low GI nutrients are released slowly it provides constant energy, thus delaying the onset of the hunger reflex. - It has been proven by many studies that food with high GI can promote heart disease, ‘Type 2’ Diabetes and obesity. Even the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends low GI food as a way to prevent these deadly disease. - Improved Emotional Health: Most parents are probably all too familiar with the effects of ‘sugar spikes’ where kids seem to bouncing of the walls after eating too much sugar…only to become grumpy and lethargic the next moment! This effect is not only linked to ingesting ‘pure sugar’ but also to easily-digested High GI foods. A Low GI diet, with its more measured release of nutrients, can therefore be one of the best ways to manage food-induced mood swings. - Improved Management of the symptoms of ADD/ADHD: What you will learn over the next few weeks on improving management of ADHD will amaze you.
