The right grains for breakfast may have an important contribution to the blood sugar regulation after meals because certain grain products may have indigestible carbohydrates and a low glycemic index (GI), according to a dissertation from the Lund University. The dissertation showed that people who usually have low GI breakfast concentrate easier during the rest of the morning, and may decrease their risk to suffer from obesity, cardiovascular diseases, or late onset diabetes. Whole-grain products with low GI may also improve short-term memory and mental acuity.
