To provide he viewer nearly he same experienc

as he aris rom he day he ook he firs phoo i

HEALTH & FITNESS

By Ellie Krieger

The Washington Post

The way a ood affecs your

blood sugar — he concenra-

ion o glucose in your blood —

maters. In he shor erm, a

meal ha rapidly raises your blood sug-

ar riggers he release o insulin, which

hen causes your blood sugar o crash,

leaving you oggy-headed and hungry

soon afer eaing. Over he long erm,

repeaed surges like hese pu you arisk or diabees and hear disease and

are linked o obesiy and cancer.

“Blood sugar is a he cenre o our

energy meabolism. I is criically impor-

an ha i says in he middle range,”

says endocrinologis David Ludwig, pro-

essor a Harvard Medical School and

auhor o he new book “Always Hun-

gry?”

Bu how do you know which oods

spike your blood sugar and which leave

you on even keel? Mos people look o

he glycaemic index (GI) or ha answer.

I has become common vernacular o

alk abou oods, paricularly hose con-

aining carbohydraes, as having a high

or low GI and saying hey have “as” or

“slow” carbs. Bu he glycaemic index

has long been known o be an imper-

ec ool, and i has come under new

scruiny wih he publicaion o a sudy

in he scienific journal Cell las No-

vember demonsraing ha a person’s

blood sugar response doesn’ nealy

abide by he glycaemic index bu rah-

er migh be as unique as ha individual.

Perhaps he bigges variable in de-

ermining someone’s glycaemic re-

sponse o a ood is ha person’s own

body. According o he sudy in Cell,

each person has a unique blood sug-

ar response ha could differ vasly rom

wha he GI/GL would predic. Lead re-

searchers Eran Segal and Eran Elinav

said: “We ound a grea deal o variabil-

iy in people’s blood glucose response

o idenical meals. For any given ood

he variabiliy was so huge ha some

people had very high and ohers very

low glycaemic responses.” They ound

ha a se o personal acors, including

sleep, aciviy and overall dieary hab-

is, bu mos imporan, an individual’s

microbiome (heir populaion o gu

baceria), had a remendous influence

on one’s blood glucose response o a

ood.

“The populaion averages o he gly-

caemic index are correc, bu wihou

aking ino accoun he person, any

general dieary guidelines will have lim-

ied uiliy,” Elinav said.

That is, in act, true o any number

we assign to ood. The US Agriculture

Department nutritional database, or

example, says that a medium orange

has 62 calories and 70 milligrams o

vitamin C. But those numbers are indi-

cators, not absolutes. First o all, they

are averages rom the oranges that

were tested. Any individual orange

o the same size might have a differ-

ent number o calories and a different

amount o vitamin C depending on its

variety, where it was grown, the soil

and weather conditions, and so on.

Bu he person eaing he orange

also impacs he calories and viamin

C ha will ulimaely be absorbed and

meabolised, probably depending on

he same acors ha influenced gly-

caemic response in he Cell sudy:

microbiome, sleep, aciviy, eaing pa-

erns and so on. Wih his in mind, GI/

GL may be considered in he same ca-

egory as oher numerical values we give

o ood: general guidance, bu only par

o he sory.

Also, i is imporan o keep in mind

ha jus because a ood has a low G

GL (or is low in calories and high in v

amin C, or ha mater) doesn’ mea

i is healhy. Case in poin: Premium ic

cream has a lower GI/GL han a med

um apple, bu ha doesn’ make i be

er or you. I’s imporan o look a a

o he aces o wha a ood has o offe

in erms o nuriion and in he conex

o he die as a whole.

“No single dieary acor could eve

ully describe a healhul die,” Ludwi

said. To be on he bes-known pah o

seady blood glucose, and or he bi

ger healh picure, consider your overa

eaing patern, ocusing on meals ha

have a balance o proein, healhy a

and carbohydraes, and op or mi

imally processed, carbohydrae-ric

oods ha are naurally nurien dens

including vegeables, whole ru

whole grains and beans.

Carb-rating scale is not

giving the full picture“We found a great deal

of variability in people’s

blood glucose response

to identical meals. For

any given food the

variability was so huge

that some people had

very high and others

very low glycaemic

responses.”

Z ubaan, a musical drama, is

insecure lad o a confiden, manipu-

laive young man, ravelling rom his

homeown Gurdaspur o Delhi, ready

In he firs ac, Dilsher is pleased

wih he response he ges when busi-

ha he recognises him. Awesruck

and dumbounded, Dilsher reieraes,

“mainu pechanaji?” (do you recognise

me?). This insignifican momen lays

he ground or he crux o he sory

The screenplay wih a layered nar-

raion, well-eched characers and

real and sand ou. The adep manner

in which he back sories are inexri-

cably woven ino he main narraive is

CROSSWORD

However, in a crossword the

numbers reference clues. In

a kakuro, the numbers are

all you get! They denote the

total of the digits in the row

or column referenced by the

number.

Within each collection of

cells - called a run - any of

the numbers 1 to 9 may be

used but, like sudoku, each

number may only be used

once.
