Why Post-Meal Spikes Cause Vascular Damage
- Blood sugar above 140 damages the artery inner layer causing inflammation that leads to plaque and heart attacks, strokes, blindness, kidney disease, and erectile dysfunction.
- Dr. Ford Brewer explains that prolonged spikes (hours) — not brief 15-minute rises — drive arterial plaque formation.
Eat Protein And Fat Before Carbs
- Eat protein and healthy fat before carbohydrate-containing foods to blunt post-meal glucose spikes.
- A study cited by Dr. Ford Brewer showed veggies and proteins before rice reduced post-meal blood sugar nearly 40% by slowing intestinal glucose entry.
Use Specific Proteins To Cut Spikes
- Use whey, soy, or casein proteins to reduce glucose spikes when you eat carbs.
- Dr. Ford Brewer cites evidence each of these proteins reduced post-meal spikes by over 50% and lowered sustained high glucose.
