LIP #152
Jul 16, 2025
The order you eat foods significantly impacts your skin health through blood sugar control.
Smart Eating Strategy:
- Eat vegetables first to coat your gut
- This reduces glucose spikes from carbohydrates
- Example: Cucumber + Greek yogurt before pancakes dramatically reduces blood sugar spikes
Why This Matters:
- High blood sugar causes glycation (proteins + sugars bonding)
- Damages collagen that takes up to a decade to recover
- Optimal blood sugar (~85 mg/dL) = better focus and energy
Additional Tips:
- Consider two meals per day (lunch and dinner)
- Avoid eating after 9 PM
- Late eating causes morning stiffness and unclear thinking
