Micronutrients are where it’s at !
The typical American/continental breakfast of juice, coffee and toast with or without cereal is a blood sugar disaster. Even switching to fresh squeezed fruit juice, gluten-free toast, and multigrain cereal will create surges of insulin and disrupt hormones for the rest of the day.
For the management of blood sugar and insulin resistance, it’s
generally recommended to start the day with a high protein breakfast. You’ll see that many menu plans available to you, either in books or online, include bacon and eggs, steak, yogurt, or cottage cheese as the protein source.
This high protein breakfast is likely to keep blood sugar steady, but it’s a disaster for both the immune system and cardiovascular system, it’s extremely deficient in micronutrients and antioxidants, and it’s high in the kinds of fats that trigger inflammation. Plus, you’re likely to experience sluggish bowels or even constipation because of the lack of fiber and high fat content.
On the next VITAL Healing Kitchen March 30, I'll take you through my favorite hormone hacking breakfasts to help you start your day in a way that will keep your energy level stable, your immune system strong and your hormones balanced.
