Episode notes
Protein At Every Meal
- Eat a high-quality protein at every meal and snack to stabilise blood sugars and energy.
- Choose eggs, fish, meat or dairy and combine fruit with nuts or yogurt to avoid spikes and crashes.
Move Right After Eating
- After meals, move: walk around the block or do brief bodyweight moves to stabilise glucose.
- Even 15 squats or 10 minutes of walking significantly lowers post-meal blood sugar spikes.
Hydrate Smartly, Watch Electrolytes
- Hydrate until your urine is a light straw colour and match coffee with an extra glass of water.
- Beware over-drinking: excessive litres can cause electrolyte imbalance and signal mineral deficiencies.
