4 Eating Habits for Greater Brain Health | Glucose Goddess

What impact does your blood sugar level have on your brain power? Every cell in your body needs energy to run. And one of the main ways you provide this energy is through glucose. But while eating foods high in starch and sugar will give you a glucose spike, that doesn’t actually give your body or brain the energy it needs to be consistent.

Giving your body energy isn’t simply a matter of eating more glucose. In fact, eating too much can lead to a wide range of problems including inflammation, diabetes, and more. Listen in as Jessie shares four simple food principles you can introduce into your diet today to help balance your glucose, improve cognitive performance, and live a better life.

I am 81 years of age, I have all of her books and I use the advice she gives. This is the first time I am having success with eating in my life.

[WiseHarvestTime]

This is a beautiful video
I counted 3 hacks then 4
1) savory (protein breakfast)
2) 1 T of vinegar in a big glass of water before a meal
3) Veggies before a meal (vinegar+ veggies together)
4) exercise after a starchy meal ( a walk, a dance, or calf raises)

Acetic acid / Fiber first, protein and fats second, starch third, simple sugar last

Order of operations is so important

[jyo]

Focused on steady supply of glucose, not spikes/rollercoaster

1. savory breakfast focused more on protein. No sugar bf .
2. One tablespoon of vinegar (any type of vinegar: ACV or the juice of three lemons) in a big glass of water before one of the meals. This helps to reduce the glucose spike.
3. Once a day, a plate of vegetables at the beginning of a meal.
4. Move around for 10 mins after one of the meals.

Nutrion tips
Week one:
1.) Savory Breakfast
When we eat sweet, dopamine is released (pleasure molecule) and don’t obtain energy. The melachondria (molecules that make energy) are tired. Stressed out. Don’t make energy as effective. Savory breakfast spike energy.
With savory breakfast concentration and mood levels are stable.

Week two:
2.) One table spoon of vinegar and a big glass of water before one of our meals a day. OR 3 lemons to get the same power of 1 tbs of vinegar (it’s less proficient tho)
Acidic acid slows down how quickly food breaks down to glucose molecules.
While doing this you reduce the glucose spike, Loosing the impact of your meal on your health.

Week three:
3.) Once a day, before one of our meals, have a of plate of vegetables at the beginning of the meal.
Vegetables have fiber which deploys into the walls of our upper intestine creating a protective “fiber mesh” that slows and reduce the amount of glucose molecules from our food to the bloodstream.

Week four:
4.) after one meal a day, move for 10 minutes.
(Walking around the block, cleaning, dancing, calf raises) contract the muscles!!
Muscle cells use glucose for energy. By contracting the muscles for ten mins, they soak up glucose from the meal we’ve just had.

When we get off the glucose rollercoaster… Cravings go away. Energy improves. Less hungry. Inflammation goes down. Skin problems go away. Sleep better. Hormonal issues disappear. Helps our brain funcion better.

⭐️ TIP!! You could mix hack 2 & 3, you could add a vinegar dressing to the vegetables.

This woman has changed my autoimmune disease (I had ecezema, allergies, very dry skin and leaky gut...). I feel way better than years before. It's a game changer the way you eat your food.

I did veggies first about 6 months postpattum after listeningto this smart😊 lady. Lost several kg without trying and stopped being so hungry while breastfeeding twins. Pregnant again, will do veggies again, need to not gain a lot of weight since still breastfeeding and will soon have 3 under 2😂

I'm a nutritionist. These are some of the things I tell people and do myself. They work! I've lost 40 pounds. I also recommend milling your own grain into flour and using that to make your breads, pastas, cakes, etc.

[elvinaosanova]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm watching it in Ukraine after a massive missile attack feeling really stressed but this video as well as others made me feel so much better! your voices, confidence, information you are sharing - all these made me feel alive.

[joanlim-choong]

She is an amazing speaker, I can hear her all day.

[jamieyeng]

One of the most genuine videos on YouTube I have stumbled upon. Both of you are egoless, amazing and passionate people. Thank you so much for contributing to making a better world with good information and scientific sharing.❤

[digitalsurfer]

With such a sweet smiling 'therapist/scientist/author' explaining us in her sweet voice, who needs that sugar to start with? Seriously, her positivity is indeed contagious. Thanks for all the tips. As an instinct, I used to avoid taking a sweet thing to break my fast, but with all the science and other tips to back this, I am all for it.

[hiransiwanasingha]

I just love this girl... She is the reason I watched this podcast. I saw her in YT shorts and liked her at first sight...
Especially her speaking is so pleasing to hear... Also her explanations are simple and interesting...
I just love to hear and see her. Of course, her contents are very valuable too...

[preetiyog]

Indian culture also recommends
-Eat lots of veggies
-Walk a bit after every meal
-Fill your tummy only 2/3
-Do not drink water with a meal, only after an hour and a half
-Do not eat while watching TV or while having an argument on table -Pray before your meal.
-Be a mindful eater.


And I just added the apple cider vinegar hack (first thing in the morning) few months back and it really works as well.
1 table spoon .with glass of water works wonders within 2 weeks

[lowylstunner]

I just bought her book and now my glucose level is getting stable no more glucose spikes. No more foggy head

[Kennedy-ys]

For someone trying to reduce sugar intake, this video is gold. The eating sequence during meals and the science behind glucose production and absorption are my main takeaways.

[batangbujo]

I discovered her during the time that I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes in pregnancy. Thank you so much glucose goddess. You dont know how much you helped me throughout my pregnancy.
