Boosting your GPL-1 with Foods

Boosting your glycemic load (GL) with a variety of natural foods isn’t as complicated as we want to make it. Choosing nutrient dense foods over processed is where we can all start. That way we can insure that we’re receiving nutrients from the food eat.
Focus on including whole grains, such as quinoa and barley, which are higher in fiber. This fiber will help energy levels throughout the day and for you to stay full, longer, as well. Another big tip is to include vegetables, like leafy greens, broccoli, and colorful peppers. These are lower in their glycemic (sugar) levels, which can significantly aid in regulating blood sugar levels. Low-glycemic fruits, such as berries and cherries, are an awesome choice for training your sweet tooth & break away from process sugar without causing a rapid spike in your GL.

Lastly, I’m always talking about how protein, fats, and carbs are best friends that like to do everything together. Adding healthy fats from sources like avocados and nuts can also stabilize blood sugar while helping you feeling satisfied and full. Prioritize these two small steps: choosing medium glycemic or grain starches for your meals & prioritize adding a green vegetable to your lunches and dinner and eat them first!
We can naturally improve our GUT, which is an endocrine hormone in charge of making GLP-1. It starts with us. If you liked this post, let me know!
