What is the optimal human diet Ted talk 8/10

With this video I'd like to introduce to some of you the dimension of "glucose levels after a meal"  in nutrition. 

As you may have noticed, nutrition has various dimensions that each one have to be studied by themselves to paint a bigger understsanding of food and health, for example food alergies,  the ammount of meals you eat in a day, how working out and muscle glycogen affect how you feel after eating, blood sugar and insulin fluctuations and spikes, etc. 

 

It's both a basic and not basic idea. For years I was clueless about this and I wish someone had explained this to me sooner. 

 

The idea is that each person is unique and therefore reacts differently to food. Some foods spike your blood sugar levels and some dont, and for others it's the opposite.

Therefore , generic nutrition advice is most likely misleading and potentially harmful, and you must embarc on a personal experimentation journey to find what foods work for you ( big surprise ?) 

Tldr : buy a Glucometer and experiment what foods spike your blood sugar and have this as one of the guidelines of what is good /bad for you, together with much other nutrition advice. 

Unstable blood sugar levels and blood sugar fluctuation are the #1 reason for brainfog and sluggishness from my personal experimentation. 

You can try out the Keto diet and buy a blood ketone tester but thats a topic for another time.
