That was the case since produce depended on the weather and other natural conditions for growth. However, with the current technological advancement and adaption in agriculture, you can easily find any fruit or vegetable you want regardless of the time of the year. Industrial agriculture has introduced greenhouses that have allowed the growing and production of fruits and vegetables year-round. The system has also adopted an approach where fruits are harvested before they ripen, stored for long periods, ripened through artificial methods, and distributed at any time of year.

Researchers came up with the glycemic index (GI) to determine the extent to which particular foods increased blood glucose levels. The glycemic index helps in ranking foods on a 0-100 scale. Foods ranging from 55 and below on the index are said to be low glycemic and have little impact on blood glucose levels. The GI is helpful to individuals who wish to make healthy diet choices. The ranking system will help you classify starchy foods based on their impact on blood glucose levels. The tool helps you to estimate the degree to which a particular food will affect your blood glucose level, after ingestion. Low glycemic vegetables are those vegetables whose GI is equal to or less than 55. The body breaks down and absorbs the low GI vegetables slowly, resulting in a minimal and slow increase in an individual’s blood sugar level. Most non-starchy vegetables fall under the low GI category.

In the previous article, we’ve described what B vitamins are, the eight types, their functions and food sources. In this article, let’s proceed to talk about the common symptoms associated with a deficiency in each of the eight B-group vitamins. B vitamins are essential for maintaining cell health and keeping you energized, and you must keep taking them in adequate amount since they are water-soluble and are not stored in the body. This means excess amount is given out through urine, and you have to load up on these vitamins daily to stay healthy. Some foods are high in several B vitamins, while certain foods are particularly high in a specific B vitamin. However, eating a balanced diet is key to getting all these vitamins, at least in amounts that your body needs.
