GLUCOSE TRACKING.

We assume that keeping our glucose levels steady is an issue solely for diabetics, but it is vital for all of us to make sure we are educated on the importance of glucose tracking for optimal health.

Glucose spikes can lead to issues such as prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, weight gain and lack of energy, among other issues.

Recommendations to keep blood sugar levels steady include eating your meal in a certain order – veggies, then protein, then carbs – drinking apple cider vinegar before eating (which may reduce a glucose spike by up to 30%) and combining food well by making sure you’re eating carbs and proteins together. For example, instead of eating an apple on its own, slice it and use the slices to scoop up some protein-rich peanut butter.
