GI - Healthy Food? How can I now what to eat?

It isn't easy to know what is healthy or what isn't. Everyday new products arrives to the supermarkets and we get ton's of commercial from vendors.

"New ultra light Bla bla" - Typical headline for a new healthy product. But be aware of those headlines. First of all if it was healthy to begin with it doesn't need to be ultra light at all. The first warning was given in that headline. And second why do you need to drink or eat something that is x-light? There is plenty of options that is healthy to start with.

For instance you are thirsty! You feel for a Zero with no sugar at all, try water. Water is ultra light and passes thru your body easily. And water also help you digest your food at the same time.

I good rule is that food that has less colors and is white (e.g. potatoes, rice and pasta) all has very high GI and food with lot of colors or are dark has lower GI (e.g. beans, paprika, bulgur).

If you think it's hard to choose healthy food try to follow the simple rula above, dark colored food instead of white colored food. Then you are on your way to a healthier life.
