PRESENTATION: Cheryl, personal trainer now and Rotary Exchange student in the past, presented Healthy Eating using foods with low glycemic indices.
HEALTHY EATING
Low glycemic index eating has been shown to reduce obesity and metabolic syndrome (type 2 diabetes). Embraced in Australia, this way of eating is now becoming more recognized in Canada and US. Symptoms of metabolic syndrome include carb craving, night time eating, weight gain at mid line, and resistance to weight loss. Reversing these symptoms includes using low glycemic index foods, adding protein to every carb, eating breakfast AND then every 3 hours thereafter (small amounts, everyone!), and sleeping 7 - 8 hours each night.
