GI foods is one of many trends in eating. It would have been good to compare other approaches too and the general dietary recommendations instead of keeping to just one. T2 Diabetes had 35 identified causing genes in 2013 and the number had gone up to 50 about five years later. This should have been taken into account. Having said that, the advice is good.

It was indeed a good one for me. Learnt the importance of sleep for the reduction and or prevention of stress and diseases. Being aware of what to eat and things to do or not to do before sleep makes the learning more worthy. Thank You.

It was good, it reinforced my understanding for improving my health. In addition, it gave me some hints on improving health and made me more aware on what I should do and which I shouldn't.
