Walking for at least 10-15 minutes after a meal is shown to reduce your glucose spikes post a meal. Since walking relies on aerobic metabolism, which draws upon glucose in combination with fatty acids and protein in the body, you burn glucose at a moderate rate to curb a spike in glucose production without triggering its production further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moderate to High-Intensity workouts before a meal have been shown to result in a lower glucose response. With regular exercise, your body becomes more insulin-sensitive, which means that your glucose response will be better than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Complex carbs could include whole food grains like quinoa, buckwheat, and whole wheat items. These do not spike your glucose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adding fiber and protein to your meal creates the hypercompensation effect that smoothens the glucose response curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fermented foods like sourdough bread might have a slightly better glucose response than their non-fermented versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drinking 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar pre-meal will smoothen the glucose crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meals eaten late at night or just before sleep will be metabolized slowly and keep your glucose levels high for a longer time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try reducing the portion size, as that might help you achieve a more stable glucose response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sequence of foods<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0sorted by a lower probability of glucose spike is \u2192 Fiber > Fats > Protein > Carbs > Simple Sugar. Eat your meals in the above sequence to improve the glucose response.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":6074,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-metabolic-health"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
