Now that we have rung in 2009, let's make a resolution for a healthier new year. One of the healthiest things you can do is to make smart decisions about your food choices.

Here are our ten reasons for giving yourself and your loved ones a low glycemic lifestyle:
1. More stable blood sugar throughout the day.
2. Reduce your insulin resistance.
3. Prevent the afternoon energy slump.
4. Control your cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
5.Low glycemic carbs are packed with more fiber and nutrients.
6. Raising fiber in your diet helps with weight control and digestion.
7. High glycemic carbs have been linked to heart disease and other lifestyle illnesses.
