Foods that spike up blood sugar following their consumption are referred to “high glycemic index” foods while low glycemic index foods release sugar into the bloodstream at a steady rate. Pulses are an excellent example of low glycemic index foods to include into the diet.
Due to its high content of protein and fiber, pulses are filling enough to keep you from craving the munchies.
You might be intoxicating a few people in your surroundings (*guilty*), but if you are broke AF, chowing down on pulses instead of meat will save you some coins.
Just ½ cup of cooked pulses provide a third of the daily recommended fiber intake. Dietary fiber helps to control blood cholesterol, constipation, and glycemia.
