Leading specialist in the immunological and gastroenterological area Eran Elinav, representing the Israel Research University Weizmann, proposes to regularly measure the glucose content in the blood for weight loss. The analysis will help determine the degree of reaction of the body to the use of certain products.
As the specialist explains, the higher the value of blood glucose level after eating, the greater the probability of the appearance of excessive kilograms. In addition to being overweight, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and blood vessels increases .
"Regular and significant jumps in blood glucose levels potentiate the activity of the pancreas. The secretion of insulin is stimulated, a series of biochemical processes is triggered, which leads to an excessive accumulation of fat cells and damage to the vascular network, "the scientist explains.
Specialists recommend buying a special household glucometer to be able to measure glucose level before each meal, and also an hour after eating. When comparing the indicators, you can determine after which products a jump in the glucose level occurs. Or, in simple terms, what foods are more than others lead to a set of excess weight.
Thus, if you exclude all potentially dangerous products, you can not only keep your weight in the norm, but also to put in order the heart activity and clean the vessels.
In addition, for the normalization of blood glucose levels, the doctor provided separate recommendations. The scientist insists that small meals should be prepared for meals, because eating large meals invariably leads to an increase in glucose levels.
As the specialist noted, fruits can affect the sugar content in the blood. Optimal to eat raw fresh fruits, preferring them to dried fruits and candied fruits.
It is equally useful to lower blood glucose levels by drinking water directly before eating. Many people who want to lose weight, pay much attention to reducing the total amount of fat in food, but this does not contribute to the stabilization of glucose. But the use of non-fat milk products, hard cheeses, eggs positively affects the blood glucose after eating.
Nutrition plays a crucial role in the regulation of insulin production. To reduce the resistance to insulin, you need to exclude from the daily menu refined sugars, pastries and sweets. Replace them easily: this is suitable for carbohydrates with high fiber content and a small glycemic index. With such nutrition, the pancreas will dispense insulin, and the cells stabilize the susceptibility to it. In addition, the exclusion of baking will help to improve the functioning of the intestines. For many people, this is expressed in the elimination of discomfort after eating - flatulence disappears, and a chair is established.
