The traffic light system provides a simple way to categorize foods for healthy eating.
🔴 Red Light Foods (Avoid/Limit):
- Processed foods
- Foods with preservatives
- High-sugar items
- Most pastries and refined carbohydrates
📊 Understanding Glycemic Index:
- Measures how quickly foods raise blood sugar (scale 1-100)
- Foods above 60-65 are considered high glycemic
- Optimal blood glucose: 80-105
- High glycemic foods cause rapid blood sugar spikes
This system helps people make informed decisions about food choices and maintain stable energy levels throughout the day.
