Glucose spikes occur when large amounts of glucose enter the bloodstream rapidly, mainly due to consumption of starches and sugars. This overwhelms the body's mechanisms, affecting processes like mitochondrial function and glycation, leading to rapid aging, heart issues, and insulin imbalance.

Chronic fatigue, faster aging, and various diseases result from consistent glucose spikes. High glucose levels stimulate excessive insulin production, contributing to type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance. Additionally, insulin spikes can lead to fat accumulation and other metabolic issues over time.

• Mitochondrial overload leads to reduced energy and oxidation.
• Glycation accelerates aging and wrinkles formation.
• High insulin levels impact heart health and weight.

Jesse and CHP, known as the glucose goddess, share simple, practical strategies in their bestselling book to help mitigate glucose spikes effectively.

A breakfast rich in protein and healthy fats can stabilize glucose levels. Foods like eggs, fish, nuts, or tofu should be complemented with fibers, avoiding any sweets.

Drinking a tablespoon of vinegar diluted in water before meals can reduce glucose spikes by 30%. It slows the breakdown of foods, extending their digestive process.

Combine carbohydrates with proteins or fats. Pairing starches with fats, like avocados on bread, minimizes glucose spikes by modifying the release.

Movement activates the muscles, aiding glucose utilization. Activities such as walking or light exercises can significantly flatten post-meal spikes.

Certain foods perceived as healthy can be deceptive if consumed unwisely. Jesse warns against oats, oat milk, and certain fruits which can disguise pronounced sugar impacts.

• Oats: Full of starches causing glucose surges.
• Fruits like grapes and tropical varieties create severe spikes.
• Honey: Contains negligible antioxidants but significant sugar.

Balancing glucose not only fosters better physical energy but also prevents chronic illnesses, enhances mental clarity, and prolongs vitality. Adopting simple dietary adjustments, as recommended by Jesse, can potentially transform health.
