Your eating order matters!

Did You Know? The Order You Eat Your Food Can Matter!

Did you know that eating your food in a certain order may help keep your blood sugar from spiking after a meal? It's a simple change that may make a difference without giving up the foods you love!

Here's how it works:

🥦 1. Vegetables First

Start with non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, green beans, or a side salad. The fiber helps slow digestion and may help reduce how quickly sugar enters your bloodstream.

🍗 2. Protein and Healthy Fats Next

Enjoy foods like chicken, fish, eggs, nuts, avocado, or olive oil. Protein helps keep you satisfied, while protein and fat can slow digestion.

🍚 3. Carbs Last

Finish with foods like rice, potatoes, pasta, or bread. Eating carbs after vegetables and protein may help reduce the blood sugar spike that can happen after a meal.

Put It Into Practice!

Having chicken, broccoli, and rice for dinner? Try eating your broccoli first, then your chicken, and finish with your rice!

A few other tips:

• Choose fiber-rich foods more often.

• Watch portion sizes.

• Take a short walk after meals when you can.

  
  

You don't have to change everything at once. Start with one meal and see how it goes!

Your Embody Sage takeaway: Small changes can add up. Try changing the order you eat your food and give your body a little extra support!

Health note: Results vary, and eating order doesn't replace medical care or prescribed treatment. If you take medication that can cause low blood sugar, talk with your healthcare provider before making significant dietary changes.
