New scientific data discover a simple way to keep blood sugar under control - without grueling diets or strict restrictions. Instead, scientists are advised to simply change the order in which we consume proteins, fats, carbohydrates and fiber.
A team of researchers from the United States, led by Professor Michael Snyder, conducted an experiment with the participation of 55 volunteers, some of whom had a pre -Diabet - a condition that often precedes the development of type 2 diabetes.
Participants were served the same dish with rice - a source of fast carbohydrates, but before giving small portions of fiber, proteins or fats. The results were amazed.
If the participants ate a protein or fibrous snack before the rice, the rise of glucose in the blood was much smaller. Fats, although not reducing sugar, slowed its growth, which also had a positive effect on metabolism.
"Eat a salad or burger in front of fries," Professor Snyder advised. According to him, such a sequence of food avoids sharp jumps of sugar, which cause a strong feeling of hunger after their falls.
These glucose fluctuations are one of the main causes of overeating and obesity. Control over them can be an effective prevention of metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes.
The conclusion is simple: the right sequence when eating is an accessible tool for anyone who wants to eat without restrictions and takes care of health.
