Nutrition for insulin resistance

Are you wondering what you can achieve with a change in diet? More than you think!

A balanced diet can stabilise blood sugar levels, improve insulin resistance, and relieve stress on the liver. In addition to a possible reduction in medication, you can also effectively reduce your weight. They are more concentrated in everyday life and are more resistant to stress.

A wholesome diet is also important for your physical well-being. If you move, this can increase the effect even more. You will reduce your weight and feel how the side effects of insulin resistance are becoming less and less.

The basics of nutrition

Basically, when choosing foods, you should make sure to replace simple carbohydrates with complex carbohydrates. Instead of wheat products, choose the whole grain variant and you can easily replace sweets with low-sugar fruits such as berries or sweet-tasting nuts such as cashews. Also, make sure to incorporate high-quality protein sources into your meals. Lean meat, lentils, soya products, low-sugar yogurt and quark are ideal here. It should incorporate high-quality fats. Choose oils, nuts and seeds that contain a lot of polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as rapeseed oil, walnuts and flaxseed. You should avoid saturated and trans fatty acids, such as in sausages or ready-made pizzas, as much as possible.

Hidden sugar

Although the WHO recommends a maximum daily sugar consumption of 50g, this recommendation is exceeded by many consumers. (2) The reason for this is that sugar in the form of glucose, also known as dextrose, and fructose, is found in more foods than you think.

Sauces, dips, muesli bars, ready meals, fruit juices or the quick soluble cappuccino can be real sugar bombs. Did you know that a sweet chilli sauce consists of 50% sugar or a glass of apple juice (250 ml) contains 30g of sugar?

Our tip: Take a look at the list of ingredients. Both the list of ingredients and the nutritional table tell you what type and how much sugar it contains.

Clever combinations instead of renunciation

Renunciation was yesterday! Combine and replace foods and escape the vicious circle. This is how you can achieve a balanced diet easily and with a noticeable effect.

Combine your carbohydrates with protein, fats and fibre. To prevent a sharp rise in your blood sugar levels, we recommend that you eat carbohydrates at the end of your meals.

As already described, the quality of the nutrients also plays an important role. The plate method is a great and simple orientation for a balanced and nutritious meal.

In addition, eat your dessert immediately after eating. This will help you avoid sharp spikes in blood sugar levels and counteract cravings.

Mediterranean diet

The Mediterranean diet is often suggested to those affected as an orientation to relieve the body. The reason for this is the foods it contains, which can have a positive effect on blood sugar levels.

The following applies here: Healthy fats rich in omega-3 fatty acids are indispensable in a healthy diet. These include high-quality oils, nuts and seeds, such as rapeseed oil, walnuts and flaxseed. You should also include a sufficient intake of protein in the form of fish, lean meat, tofu, legumes and sugar-free natural yoghurt in your meal. Furthermore, carbohydrates should only be combined in moderation. Make sure to use complex carbohydrates with a high fibre content. Whole grains as well as quinoa and oatmeal are good choices.

The Mediterranean diet can also be combined with Almased. Benefit from the positive effects on your health.
