Glycemic Index is a valuable tool to help manage blood sugar in the context of a healthy dietary pattern. This means appropriate portion sizes and pairing your Holista Pasta with other healthy, low GI foods. This will keep the glycemic load low to moderate, offering a host of benefits such as blood sugar control, decreased risk of insulin resistance, weight management, and sustained energy.
Use the MyPlate method to pair your Holista Pasta!
