Last Meal of the Day
So my eating routine for today: Broke my fast at 1p. 18 hours after my previous meal with coconut curried chickpeas with veggies and cauliflower rice. This is my dinner: Potato salad with crunchy veggies, and salmon on top of mixed greens and avocado. Just a drizzle of olive oil, fresh squeezed lemon and a pinch of Himalayan salt and pepper on the salad. And cauliflower rice. Comment below what order I should eat this meal in. And does eating potato salad bad for a glucose spike?
Last Meal of the Day
Incorporating some simple movement into my life:
Everything counts, little things add up, trying new things and remembering old ones like: *squatting after sitting for hours *Yoga stretches and poses between "heavy lifting." *Deep breathing How do you get it in?
Boundaries
Today I said NO 3 times. Like a whole sentence. I did bitch about it to someone helping me out and then course corrected, got on with my day. Winning!
Why is my Cholesterol High
The Shrapnel Effect: Why Every Spike is a Scar" When your blood sugar spikes above 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L), your blood stops being a life-giving fluid and starts becoming Liquid Sandpaper. Glycation Sugar is sticky. When there is too much of it in your blood, it binds to the proteins in your vessel walls. This process is called Glycation. Think of it like caramelizing an onion. The sugar turns hard, brown, and brittle. •The Result: Your flexible, smooth arteries turn into stiff, crusty pipes. The Glass Shards Imagine throwing a handful of sand into a car engine. That is what a glucose spike does to your capillaries. 1.The Eyes: The tiny vessels in your retina are shredded. This is why diabetics go blind (Retinopathy). 2.The Kidneys: The delicate filters are scratched and scarred. This is why diabetics end up on dialysis (Nephropathy). 3.The Nerves: The blood supply to your nerves is cut off. This is why your feet go numb and rot (Neuropathy). The Bandage Your body is not stupid. It feels the damage. When the sugar scratches the artery wall, your body sends Cholesterol to patch the hole. •You eat sugar ---> You scratch the wall ---> You patch it with plaque. •Repeat this 3 times a day for 10 years. •Result: A blocked artery. A heart attack. A spike is not "energy." A spike is an assault. Every time you eat that empty, processed carbs you are swallowing a handful of glass. Is it worth it?
