Pack your Low GI Breakfast with Barley
Filed in archive Diet by Gloria Gamat on September 10, 2007

Now, according to a new research from Lund University, intake of certain grains with breakfast of low GI foods can keep blood sugar regulated for up to ten hours. That is an entire day!
Among the four grains tested, barley showed the best result, followed by wholegrains.
According to Anne Nilsson from the Unit for applied nutrition
and Food Chemistry at Lund University:"It is known that a carbohydrate-rich breakfast with low GI can moderate increases in blood sugar after lunch. But my results show that low GI in combination with the right amount of so-called indigestible carbohydrates, can keep the blood-sugar level low for up to ten hours, which means until after dinner."
Moreover, the above study also indicated that having a breakfast low in GI helped people concentrate better for the rest of the morning and that eating certain grains before bed affects blood sugar in the same way as after breakfast.
Well, we do not have barley around here, so I really cannot say that I have eaten barley or barley food products. Have you?
