Soft GI * Effect

vivagreen the new soft drink from vivamangiare Cologne, November 3, 2008 consumers tend to more nutrition and health awareness. In the stressful everyday make more and more people on a particularly healthy and balanced diet. The vivamangiare shaft food GmbH has responded to this trend and developed a new soft drink with vivagreen, which supplies the body with the energy he needs, helps control weight and prevent cravings. vivagreen is the first beverage with the GI * EFFECT. The GI * EFFECT is caused by carbohydrates with a low GI of under 50 GI stands for the Glycemic Index (GI). This indicates how quickly a carbohydrate-containing foods increase blood glucose levels can be. The steeper climbs upwards of blood sugar, the more insulin pours the body to reconstruct these. High insulin levels causes however, ingested fat will not degraded, but saved by the body.

According to the classification of the World Health Organization (WHO) foodstuffs are divided into three groups those with a low glycemic index (55 or less), those with a medium GI rating (56 to 69) and food, a high GI value exhibit (70 or more). Starting point and at the same time high GI value of the glycemic index of glucose is 100. Corn flakes have about a glycemic index of 81 vivagreen a GI value of under 38 maintains blood sugar levels, provides energy, not charged, and supports weight control. vivagreen fits perfectly into our existing restaurant concept. Vivamangiare Wellfood restaurants guests can feed on specific carbohydrate-poor. “All food and beverages are color-coded Green stands for low-carbohydrate foods and drinks with low GI, yellow for dishes with medium GI and red for carbohydrate-rich foods with a high GI”, explains Ulrich Overdiek, Managing Director of the company. vivagreen is there in the Flavors of Apple and lemon with a fruit content of 30% and no preservatives. Also the flavors of currant grape and ORANGE-lime on the market come from spring 2009.

The classification of vivagreen as foods with low GI was confirmed by the Institute of Sport Sciences of the Goethe University of Frankfurt by a corresponding certificate. About the glycemic index, the daily food and beverages consists largely of carbohydrates. They provide energy to the body. They keep blood sugar stable, while they have the GI * EFFECT. The GI * EFFECT prevents a high secretion of insulin. With the consumption of carbohydrate-rich drinks such as Cola and lemonade, the blood glucose level rises sharply. The body must produce now much insulin to the mirror again which in turn promotes the build-up of fat deposits on a constant level to bring back. The result: Constant lowering of blood sugar levels cause of hypoglycaemia. The consequences: less efficiency for Body and mind and a greater sense of cravings for sweets.
