The glycemic index measures how quickly carbohydrates are metabolized. Carbohydrates in foods like white bread, cakes, cookies cheese pizza or foods sweetened with sugar or corn syrup have high glycemic indices. The article, "Study Finds Dietary Link to risk of Eye Disorder" also points out that "Heavy consumption of foods with a high glycemic index has been implicated in the development of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and some cancers." While exercising has been advised as being extremely effective in reducing the chances of your getting osteoporosis, eating a diet of foods high in calcium and that are vitamin D-fortified is also highly recommended. Foods that are rich in calcium include milk, cheese, yogurt, greens, dried beans and peas, tofu, and calcium-fortified foods. Now back to turkey - it is one of the leanest meat protein sources available plus it is rich in niacin, selenium, Vitamins B6, B12 and zinc. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remember, the special discounts in the newsletter are available only on our Web site at http://www.independentliving.com/Specials.asp.
