The Glycemic Index (GI) is how we measure carbohydrates in food according to how they affect blood glucose levels. In a high GI diet, carbs cause blood glucose levels to spike and crash. In a low GI diet, carbs are digested and released slowly for sustained energy. As parents, we all want our kids to have long-lasting nourishing energy!
