Bitesize Biohacks: Flattening Your Blood Glucose Curve


Listen Later

This week Angela is talking all about blood sugar and why it’s so important to manage blood sugar spikes because when you continuously spike your blood glucose you are affecting your mitochondria over time and to optimise, your mitochondria need to be as healthy as possible

Angela explains what happens when you continually spike your blood sugar and shares 3 key hacks that you can use daily at home to flatten your glucose spike and optimise your health

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Your fasting  glucose should be between 4milimoles per litre and 5.4milimoles per litre

Going to 7 millimoles and above you are in the diabetes range

More free radicals mean more oxidised stress

Oxidative stress is a driver of heart disease, cognitive decline, and ageing

If you are spiking your blood glucose you are also spiking your fructose

Glycation is where sugar molecules attach to other cells and damage them

Fructose can overwhelm the liver

When you change the composition of the calories you are consuming you can lose weight on the same number of calories

Fibre is your friend and has 3 key superpowers, eating more fibre slows down the release of glucose into the blood.

Fibre creates a viscous mesh that limits the absorption of glucose

The order of eating matters, start with the veggies

Start your meal with vinegar to reduce blood glucose the acetic acid

the way you start your day plays a vital role in your blood glucose, as you will be more sensitive to glucose

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Your mitochondria are the powerhouses of your cells so you want to keep them as healthy as possible

‘Wrinkles are something you can get from too much glycation’

‘The narrower the range of the spike the better your health will be with less cravings and fat storage
