A savoury breakfast with nothing sweet.
Some veggies before a meal, to obtain fibre.
Vinegar, a teaspoon is enough.
Move after eating.
Glucose Goddess reveals breakfast tips and how to change the way you eat for good. GLUCOSE GODDESS: Are you a martyr to mood swings, brain fog and outbursts of irrational anxiety? Do you drop into bed at night feeling exhausted but unable to sleep?
Perhaps you have just become accustomed to feeling under par, and you’ve learned to rely on coffee and sugary snacks to keep you functioning. But what you probably won’t have done is traced these symptoms back to what you ate for breakfast. And no wonder – because we don’t instantly feel the effect. Metabolic processes take hours to unfold, compound over time and become mixed with all the other things that happen in a day, so connecting the dots takes a bit of detective work.
As a biochemist, I have long been fascinated by the impact fluctuating blood sugar levels can have on our health and mood, but it was only when I started measuring my own blood glucose levels using a continuous glucose monitor (which reads glucose levels in the blood through a very thin wire piercing the skin on the upper arm) that I made the connection between what I ate for breakfast and how I felt throughout the rest of the day.
