Balanced Sugar Beats
Care🍀 Keeping your blood sugar steady is one of the best gifts you can give your body this holiday season. Spikes and crashes not only affect your energy but also your mood and overall well-being.
Curiosity📚 Blood sugar, or glucose, is the primary fuel your body uses for energy. When we consume sugary or refined foods, glucose enters the bloodstream quickly, causing a spike in blood sugar levels. The pancreas responds by releasing insulin to bring levels back down, but this rapid cycle can leave you feeling tired or hungry soon after. Over time, frequent spikes and crashes can strain your metabolism and affect long-term health. Incorporating fiber, healthy fats, and a sprinkle of Ceylon cinnamon can help regulate this process, supporting steady energy and mood throughout the day.
Creativity🤸♀️ This Christmas week, challenge yourself to pair sweets with stabilizing foods:
Cookies & Cinnamon: Sprinkle Ceylon cinnamon over your Christmas treats for a festive flavor boost that supports blood sugar control.
Toasted Bread: Enjoy a slice of whole-grain toasted bread with almond butter alongside holiday desserts.
Small Portions: Try savoring smaller portions of sweets, focusing on the joy of the season without overloading on sugar.

Until next week,
