Mindsip insights from this episode:

Drink vinegar before meals to lower glucose spikes

Drinking one tablespoon of any type of vinegar in a glass of water up to 30 minutes before a meal can reduce the subsequent glucose spike by up to 30%.

Start your day with a savory, low-carb breakfast for lasting energy

A savory, low-carb breakfast keeps glucose steady and can prevent hunger for up to five hours, whereas a sweet, spiky breakfast can make you hungry again in two.

Engage muscles for 10 minutes post-meal to manage glucose spikes

Using your muscles for just 10 minutes after eating, such as by dancing or walking, is a powerful way to help your body absorb glucose and curb the spike.

Always pair carbohydrates with protein, fat, or fiber to stabilize glucose

Never eat a 'naked' carbohydrate; always add protein, fat, or fiber to starchy or sweet foods to blunt the glucose spike.

Reduce sugar intake to prevent harmful saturated fat production

The liver produces harmful saturated fat in the blood primarily in response to high insulin from eating sugar and starch, not from eating saturated fat itself.

Eat vegetables first to minimize glucose spikes

You can reduce the glucose spike of a meal by 75% by eating vegetables first, proteins and fats second, and starches and sugars last.

Reduce glucose spikes to prevent internal glycation and aging

Every glucose spike causes glycation, a process that damages molecules and is akin to your body literally cooking from the inside, which accelerates aging.
