GlInda: гликемический индекс for Android

GlInda: гликемический индекс

GlInda: гликемический индекс is an Android application developed by Vladimir Borisov. It falls under the category of Education & Reference, specifically in the Books subcategory. The app provides information about the glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) of various food products.

The glycemic index is a qualitative indicator that measures the effect of carbohydrates in a food product on blood sugar levels. It is calculated by comparing the carbohydrate content of the food to that of a standard carbohydrate, glucose. The glycemic load, on the other hand, is a quantitative indicator that measures the extent to which a food product raises blood glucose levels after consumption.

The app also includes the insulin index (II), which indicates the intensity of blood sugar and insulin spikes. In other words, it determines the rate at which insulin is produced in response to carbohydrate metabolism.

Knowing these indicators can be useful for monitoring blood glucose levels and developing diets for weight loss or weight gain.

The glycemic index of food products is divided into three categories: low (less than 55), medium), and high (greater than 70). Lower glycemic index foods have less impact on blood sugar levels and are generally preferred by most people. However, it is worth noting that certain foods, such as carrot juice, may have a high glycemic index but a low glycemic load due to their low carbohydrate content.

The glycemic load of carbohydrate-containing food products is also categorized as low (less than 10), medium), or high (greater than 20). For most healthy individuals, the daily glycemic load should not exceed 100 units. For weight loss or diabetic diets aimed at normalizing insulin levels, the glycemic load should be limited tounits per day.

Please note that the review should not include personal judgments or opinions, but only objective facts about the application.
