Low GI Diet Best for Expectant Moms
A new Australian study suggests that expectant moms who eat a low glycemic index diet give birth to healthier babies, while the infants of those who eat a moderate to high glycemic index diet are heavy for their gestational age. According to the Reuters Health report of the study, researchers suggest that there may be longer term risks of chronic disease or obesity at play in the heavier infants. The study appeared in the October 2006 edition of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Considering the all around benefits of eating foods with a low glycemic index, it would seem a good idea for moms-to-be.
