Discover 5 incredible carb-heavy foods that won't spike your blood sugar!

1) Pumpernickel bread is a low GL food, mainly due to its high in SOLUBLE FIBER, which helps to slow the absorption of sugar into the blood stream. It also works to lower cholesterol in your body. And, get this: pumpernickel bread also gives you a helping of PROTEIN.

2) Green peas are also carb-rich but low glycemic load, with a good amount of protein and other beneficial nutrients, including FOLATE. Folic acid has been shown to reduce fasting blood sugar and lower HbA1c readings.

3) For another high G.I. but low G.L. grain option, try couscous. It supplies 60% of the RDI for SELENIUM, which provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects to your body. Studies also show that it can help to reduce oxidative stress and arterial plaque build-up.

4) Parsnips are high in both soluble and insoluble fiber, and they are a good source of heart-aiding, blood sugar stabilizing vitamin C, and POLYACETYLENES – organic compounds which may help reduce oxidative stress while lowering the risk of certain forms of cancer.

5) Watermelon is high glycemic index, but incredibly low on the G.L scale. That's due to its high water content and its supply of beneficial micronutrients, including the anti-inflammatory antioxidant LYCOPENE, which studies suggest may lower both blood pressure and cholesterol. Lycopene has also been shown to decrease the risk of age and diabetes-related macular degeneration.
