Kristen Bell’s Biohacking Trickโ for Stable Blood Sugar โคGains โSupport From New York Nutritionist
NEW YORK – โA New York nutritionistโ is backing up actress Kristen Bell’s reported biohacking strategy for maintaining healthy energy levels adn weight, citing โฃteh โคbenefits ofโ prioritizing fiber intake and, to a lesserโค extent, apple cider vinegar. Amy Shapiro, a registered dietitian, explained to the New Yorkโ Post thatโค consuming fiber before meals can delay glucose absorption into โฃthe bloodstream, leading to a slower, more sustained rise inโข blood sugar.
This gradual increase avoids the sharp spikes that contribute toโ cravings andโ energy crashes, Shapiro said. She also noted a 2015 scientific โstudy โpublished in PMC demonstrated that apple โขcider vinegar consumption could โฃimprove insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Accordingโ to Shapiro, maintaining stable glucose levels can decrease the risk of developing insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, obesity, andโ cardiovascular diseases. while acknowledging these strategies “are not a โคmagical solution,” she believes they can make a “measurable difference” for many individuals.
Shapiro ranked โa fiber-rich diet, notablyโข green leafy vegetables, as her top suggestion,โฃ while considering apple โcider vinegar a supplemental option. She cautioned that the acidity of vinegar can cause discomfort for some.
The โMayo Clinic corroborates the benefits of dietary fiber, stating it’s a key component โof a balancedโ dietโฃ that can reduce the risk โขof heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, โฃas well โas aiding in weight management. โPlant-based foods – fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes -โ are particularly highโข in fiber.
