The term 'glycemic index' is one that's heard more and more these days.  But what exactly is the Glycemic Index, and why does it matter?
Simply put, the Glycemic Index (or GI) ranks carbohydrate-containing foods by their effects on blood sugar.  Rankings are determined by measuring how much the blood sugar rises - and for how long - after the food is eaten. 
When you eat carbohydrate-rich foods, the starches and sugars they contain are converted into a sugar (called glucose) which is released into the blood, causing a rise in the blood sugar.   This glucose in your blood is important - it's the primary fuel for your brain and muscles and is, in large part, what keeps you going mentally and physically throughout your day. 
But not all foods cause your blood sugar to rise to the same degree, and this is where the Glycemic Index - or GI - comes in.
 
What Affects Glycemic Index?
Since the GI ranks foods according to their effects on blood sugar, anything that influences the rate at which glucose enters the bloodstream will factor in.  Since both fat and protein can slow digestion time, their presence in foods can lower the GI - that's why fatty potato chips have a lower GI than plain baked potatoes. Water-soluble fiber found in foods like oats, barley and apples also slows digestion time and reduces the GI - which explains why a fresh apple has a lower GI than apple juice.   Even cooking time can affect the GI value of a food.  As foods are cooked, their starches swell and soften, making them easier to digest.  The longer you cook noodles, for example, the higher their GI value.
