Australian Yellow Box and Ironbark honey have a lower Glycaemic Index (GI) than other honey which can assist individuals in managing their blood sugar levels. People with diabetes or those aiming to maintain a stable energy level have found the lower GI honey beneficial in their diet in consultation with their medical professional.
The Benefits of Low GI Honey Include:
1. Low GI honey may help manage post meal blood sugar spikes more effectively than higher GI alternatives, giving improved blood sugar control.
2. Foods with a low glycaemic index are digested and absorbed more slowly, providing a more gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream. This can assist in maintaining energy levels over a longer period and reduce the need for frequent snacking.
3. Low GI foods can help control appetite and delay hunger cues, which can assist in weight management.
4. Honey is rich in antioxidants which help combat oxidative stress and assist in the reduction of the risk of chronic disease.
It is important to note that while low GI honey has a more favourable impact on blood sugar levels compared to high GI sweeteners, it is still a form of sugar. Diabetics and those watching their sugar intake should consider honey as part of their overall carbohydrate budget. Consulting a healthcare provider or a dietician can help tailor individual dietary needs and ensure that any inclusion of honey is done in a healthy and effective way.
