This breakfast “time” BEATS blood sugar troubles (Study)
Remember years ago, when your mom said…
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Well, she may have been right all along!
Especially when it comes to stopping DIABETES.
And while the “dos” and “don’ts” of eating and high blood sugar can often feel complicated…
A study has found that a simple, consistent breakfast ‘plan’ – at a specific time – could be a powerful weapon at lowering your risk of diabetes.
Trust me, you won’t believe how simple this is…
Researchers from Northwestern University discovered that when folks eat BEFORE 8:30 a.m. they have…
- LOWER blood sugar, and…
- LESS insulin resistance
Both of which are two hallmarks of diabetes.
See, mom was right all along…
Breakfast IS the most important meal of the day – especially if you have a higher diabetes risk.
Now, that doesn’t mean you should start eating donuts or sugar-laden breakfast cereals as soon as you hop out of bed.
After all, that processed junk is nothing but kryptonite for your blood sugar.
Instead, consider going Paleo. Sometimes called the ‘caveman’ diet, Paleo typically includes lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.
The concept is to eat whole, natural foods and avoid processed sugars.
Because most Paleo foods (even breakfast foods like eggs, bacon, fruit, and avocado) are relatively low-carb, they put less demand on your pancreas to produce insulin, decreasing your insulin secretion, and improving the effectiveness of your body’s natural insulin production.
To the healing powers of food,
