Glucose Metabiolism - Diet Essentials
A balanced diet includes carbohydrates, protein, fat and fiber along with vitamins and minerals. Each of these nutrients plays an important role in your glucose metabolism as well.

Strive for a diet full of whole, fresh, and unprocessed foods. When it comes to carbohydrates, look for "complex carbohydrates". Complex carbohydrates - like whole grains - take longer to break down because of their complicated structures, and tend to leave us feeling fuller longer and tend to be more gentle on blood sugar levels.

Healthy fat as well as protein in your diet helps reduce sugar cravings by promoting satiety and slowing down how quickly you digest food.

Including fiber-rich foods into your day-to-day diet is another very important aspect of healthy eating! Fiber is not only important for heart and gut health but it can support blood glucose regulation and can be a great weight-loss support tool, too.
