6. Low GI to beat acne !
the significance of Low GI value is that it releases sugar slowly & in a sustained fashion, as a result it reduces absorption of Glucose to the Body. Several lines of recent scientific evidence have shown that individuals who followed a low-GI diet over many years were at a significantly lower risk for developing both type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and age-related mascular degeneration than others
But…did you know it also helps prevent acne form forming and ruining your face ?
A diet high in refined, processed foods can boost levels of blood sugar, making the body produce excess insulin, which creates the perfect conditions for pimples to appear, while lowering the glycemic impact of your diet may help reduce inflammation, which is the primary characteristic of acne.
In a study published in the “American Journal of Clinical Nutrition” in July 2007, 43 males with acne, ages 14 to 25, consumed a diet containing 25 percent protein and 45 percent low-glycemic carbohydrates or a diet that emphasized carbohydrate-rich foods without regard to glycemic index for 12 weeks. By the study’s end, participants who consumed the low-glycemic diet showed greater blood sugar control and decreases in acne symptoms compared to the other group. Low-glycemic diets have also helped reduce acne symptoms in people with insulin resistance.
well now you know why we call Suwandel a Miracle Rice, it has lasted for over a 1,000 years and our forefathers wood never have preserved these seeds and passed it down generations if it did not have medicinal properties.
