Tired After Lunch? Here’s What Your Body’s Telling You 😴

It's not just the refined carbs that cause your blood sugar spikes. Eating carbs alone without balancing them with proteins or fats can lead to a similar crash. Combine fiber, protein and healthy fats with your carbohydrates at every single meal. So an example would be to pair your sweet potato, which is a complex carbohydrate, with chicken, which is your protein, and avocado, which is your good quality fat. Add a side of greens to really slow down and stabilize your blood sugar. Starting your meals with greens or fermented foods like sauerkraut can really also help to regulate your glucose absorption and support digestion. Digestive enzyme supplements like mass zymes from Bioptimizers can really help your body break down carbohydrates, protein and fats way more efficiently. Enzymes really reduce digestive stress, they improve nutrient absorption, and they free up energy from your body to use somewhere else for your body.
