Sugar Blocker 4: Have protein in your meal
Reason: Your
body will not secrete much insulin
There is a paradox that if you want to
reduce the insulin concentration, you need to secrete insulin as soon as
possible. It likes the firefighter response to a fire alarm. The earlier the
alarm rings, the little firefighters will be dispatched to extinguish fire.
Although the protein does not contain
glucose, but it can promote insulin response right from the beginning, then,
prevent blood sugar to be too high later, at the same time, reduce the amount
of insulin you need to absorb in the meal, so you can comfortably eat meatballs
with pasta.
Sugar Blocker 5: Eat medium-cooked vegetables
Reason:
You'll digest them slower
Both fruits and vegetables contain soluble
fiber, but vegetables block sugar more effectively because they contain more
fiber and less sugar. Remember not to cook the vegetables too tender, let boil
them until soft and keep all soluble fiber. Adding more water so that they do
not absorb starch or sugar. Moreover, these crunchy vegetables will be better
for the abdomen,with larger pieces of vegetables, the body will take longer to
digest, and you will feel full longer. Another tip is grilled vegetables such as
roasted cauliflower is often eaten as a side starchy dish.
Sugar Blocker 6: Drink a glass of wine at dinner
Reason: your
liver will not produce much glucose.
Alcohol has a special function in blocking
the amount of sugar in body. Liver usually transfer fat or protein in blood
into glucose and supplement glucose from the food that contains carbs. However,
when alcohol is absorbed in the meal, it will temporarily stop the production
of glucose. A glass of beer, white wine or red wine, or even brandy will reduce
blood sugar by 25% per each unit of absorption starch.
However, you should note that alcohol is
not only rich of calories, it also slows down the feeling of fullness, makes
you eat more and increase calories. Besides, avoid the sweet soluble cocktails,
they contain more sugar than you think.
Sugar Blocker 7: Only have sweets at dessert
Reason: All
the above reasons
If you eat sweets while stomach is empty,
sugar will go straight into the bloodstream without being blocked by fat,
soluble fiber, protein, or vinegar. However, if you eat sweets at the end of
the meal, you probably already have protection and a perfect locking system. If
you want to keep stable blood sugars, stay away from sweets mixed meal, and if
you still enjoy this type of foods, let reduce the sweet dishes. However, a few
pieces of candy at the end of your meal will help satisfy cravings and have no
significant impact to sugar and insulin in blood.
