YOU'VE BEEN STARTING YOUR MEALS WRONG 🤯

January 27, 202600:51
00:00:00
Why are we doing this veggies first
00:00:02
thing? Well, recently scientists have
00:00:04
discovered why it's so powerful. It's
00:00:05
because veggies contain fiber. We love
00:00:08
fiber. She's the best. When you have
00:00:10
fiber at the beginning of a meal, what
00:00:12
it does is that it coats your intestine.
00:00:14
It makes this sort of protective
00:00:16
barrier, this protective mesh, kind of
00:00:18
gooey fibrous mesh. And so any glucose
00:00:22
you eat afterwards will not be able to
00:00:25
go through your intestine into your
00:00:27
bloodstream so quickly. So, it slows
00:00:29
down the arrival of glucose into your
00:00:31
blood and it slows down that spike. You
00:00:33
can make the experiment if you're
00:00:35
wearing a monitor. Just have a a small
00:00:37
plate of, you know, carrots or spinach
00:00:39
or broccoli or cherry tomatoes or
00:00:41
whatever veggie you like before a meal
00:00:43
and see how much smaller your glucose
00:00:45
spike is. You stay fuller for longer,
00:00:47
have fewer cravings, and you're helping
00:00:49
your body from within,
