Things I learned this week: This book that I will be sharing for the next few weeks, Glucose Revolution - The life changing power of balancing your blood sugar by Jessie Inchauspé has been super helpful to see how balancing your blood sugar can help in so many different ways in our lives. If you are having any health issues, it seems like if you first work on getting this in order and then see what else happens. She writes in her book how many times how our body works in more of a black box for us we don't really know what it does and this is what I loved about the first two parts of the book. At least understanding how our body uses the food that gets turned into glucose for energy. That we as humans need a lot of fuel and that after we give ourselves fuel our bodies then need to insulin to put our extra glucose in our storage areas, our liver, our muscles and then our fat cells. Then she also mentions free radicals, oxidated stress and glycation. All of which can happen if we have too many glucose spike. We don't want to have free radical molecules going around our body messing with our other cells or damaging our gut or other organs. And understanding that is super helpful!
