      Endocrinologist Veronika Vlasova told Nizhny Novgorod residents that they should not avoid foods with a high glycemic index. Her words were relayed by the editor-in-chief of MIA "Stacionar Press," Alexey Nikonov, on his Telegram channel.

      According to Veronika Vlasova, foods with a high glycemic index cause a sharp spike in blood sugar; subsequently the body produces a surge of insulin, the sugar level drops sharply and a feeling of hunger appears. Such foods can lead to type 2 diabetes.

      However, it is important to take into account not only the glycemic index, but also portion size, food combinations and the method of preparation. For example, watermelon has a high glycemic index, but one slice does not contain that many carbohydrates. In addition, proteins, fats and fiber greatly slow the absorption of sugar, so pasta lovers are better off eating it with vegetables and chicken breast. The specialist also does not recommend making white bread, pastries and sugar the basis of your diet.
