Mindsip insights from this episode:
Test mood boost with 10-minute calf push-ups after meals
To personally test the link between blood sugar and mental health, try doing a 10-minute calf push-up at your desk after a meal to see if your mood improves.
Navigate CGM use controversy for non-diabetics
Using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) as a non-diabetic can be controversial, as some with type 1 diabetes feel it trivializes a necessary medical device.
Debunk myth: fruit does not rot in stomach after meals
The common belief that fruit rots in your stomach if eaten after a meal is a myth that originated in the Renaissance and is not scientifically true.
Prioritize fruit after meals to manage glucose spikes
While ancient wisdom suggests eating fruit on an empty stomach, modern glucose science shows it's better to eat it after a meal to reduce the glucose spike.
Pair carbs with fats or proteins to blunt glucose spikes
To blunt a glucose spike, add "clothes" to your carbs by pairing them with fats or proteins, such as eating nuts with dried fruit.
Recognize modern fruit's artificial sweetness and low fiber
The fruit we buy today has been selectively bred for millennia to be sweeter and have less fiber, unlike its smaller, seed-filled ancestors.
