Why Blood Sugar Nutrient-Based Nutrition?
Oftentimes, people with blood sugar imbalances get caught up in macronutrient ratios (carbs, fats, and protein) while managing their blood sugar. While these ratios are indeed important, micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, omega fatty acids, etc.) are needed in specific amounts for blood sugar management. If these micronutrients are deficient, the body cannot regulate blood sugar appropriately, even if you are eating the correct ratios of macronutrients. The Nutrevo Body blood sugar nutrient-based nutrition plan takes a 3-step approach in supporting healthy blood sugar levels naturally:
Focus 1:Block Excess Blood Sugar Absorption
Glucose (blood sugar) spikes begin in the digestive tract. Nutrients such as fiber, probiotics, and EGCG from green tea are clinically shown to help block absorption of excess glucose in the gut.
Focus 2: Improve Blood Sugar Metabolism
Improving glucose metabolism in the body and the liver can help maintain balanced blood sugar levels. Chlorogenic acid from blueberries or coffee, sulforaphane from broccoli, and methionine from chicken are among many nutrients which can help naturally improve blood sugar metabolism.
Focus 3: Boost Cellular Health & Insulin Sensitivity
The health of each cell is vitally important in managing blood sugar balance and insulin sensitivity. Allicin from garlic, curcumin from turmeric, and magnesium from almonds are a few nutrients and foods which have been clinically studied on boosting blood sugar cellular health, and insulin sensitivity.
