The Glycemic index (GI). This is a rating of 0-100 for all carbohydrates and relates to the speed they are absorbed, which consequently affects blood sugar levels

Top tip – Avoid food containing refined high GI carbohydrates, such as crisps, rice cakes and bread. Keep the medium GI carbohydrates to a minimum: pasta, rice and potatoes. Aim for the low GI carbohydrates to make up the bulk of your carbohydrate intake: fruit, vegetables, oat cakes, porridge oats.

The benefits:

• Fruit and vegetables will give you vitamins, minerals and fibre
• Slower release means your appetite will be satisfied for longer
• Higher and more sustained energy levels for life and exercise
• Helps to avoid your sugar levels dropping to low
• Improved concentration and focus
