Learn how to get the most nutritional value from your meals with Alsur

You may not be aware of it, but the way we order our food intake can a significant impact on the management of blood glucosa levels.

Nowadays, metabolic diseases are on the rise, so it is crucial to know how to adapt our diet to maintain optimal blood glucosa levels and, therefore, an ironclad health.

The order in which you eat your food influences your glucosa spikes

According to recent research, the order in which we eat food can reduce glucosa spikes by up to 73%. According to this practice, we should eat first those foods rich in fiber and protein before carbohydrates.

This is a very interesting and effective approch, as it allows us not eliminate foods from our diet, but simply to rearrange them in our menu.

Why is it important to avoid glucose spikes?

You’ve probably experienced a sudden urge to eat or, after eating breakfast, you’ve noticed a drop in energy. This is due to so-called “glucosa spkies”. Avoiding them is crucial for three main reasons:

  • It prevents chronic diseases: frequent and prolonged blood glucose spikes favor the development of insulin resistance, a common precursor to type 2 diabetes.
  • Keeps your energy stable: stable blood glucose levels help avoid energy ups and downs that can affect your daily performance.
  • Controls your appetite: Stabilizing your blood glucose levels will help reduce cravings and hunger, making it easier for you to control your weight.

How to implement the correct order of food?

Incorporating this practice into our routine is very simple. Here are some tips:

  1. Start with vegetables and protein: eating a salad or vegetables first with a protein source (such as chicken or our fava beans) prepares your body to digest carbohydrates more slowly and efficiently.
  2. Add healthy fats: incorporating healthy fats such as olive oil, avocado or nuts can slow down glucose absorption.
  3. Finish with carbohydrates: thanks to the presence of fiber, proteins and fats (previously ingested) in the stomach, we moderate the release of glucose into the bloodstream, which significantly reduces the glucose curve.

At Grupo Alsur, we are committed to the health and well-being of our community. Therefore, for us it is not only important to produce high quality preserves, but also to promote healthy habits.

Now you know how to improve your well-being. Incorporate our canned vegetables at the beginning of your meals and leave the carbohydrates for the end. In this way you will keep your energy stable and long-lasting, better control your appetite and better face your day.
