Il processo:
The glycemic index (GI) shows how quickly a food breaks down into glucose and enters the blood. In Body Intelligence, GI is a marker of your energy stability. High-GI foods give a fast but short spike, followed by a sharp drop in blood sugar. Result: sudden drowsiness, lost focus, and morning puffiness. Managing GI is the art of keeping ideal homeostasis through the day.
La regola «vestiti per i carboidrati»:
Never eat carbs “naked.” If you want a high-GI food, build a buffer first: eat fiber (greens) or add quality fats. This slows sugar absorption and protects your energy.
Tabella: Investimenti energetici
| GI level | System impact | Investor foods |
|---|---|---|
| GI = 0 (Clean energy) | No insulin spike. Long, steady fuel for brain and body. | Quality animal protein, fatty fish, eggs, olive and butter. |
| GI up to 35 (Smooth energy) | Safe zone. Smooth uptake without sugar swings. Ideal for focus. | Fresh greens, celery, cucumber, avocado, nuts, seeds, dark chocolate (85%+). |
| GI above 60 (Credit with interest) | Sharp sugar and insulin spike. Energy for 30 minutes, then fatigue. | Sugar, refined flour, white rice, sweet fruit on empty stomach, stewed/hot starchy vegetables. |
