🎃Halloween Night Functional Nutrition Tip:
BUFFER THE BLOOD SUGAR SPIKE
Even if refined sugar isn’t on your personal wellness plan, Halloween and the upcoming holiday season can be full of higher than usual sugar exposure and temptation.
If a treat is in the cards, proactively support your body with a simple, functional nutrition strategy: THE BUFFER
☝🏻The #1 tip for Halloween evening?
Have a balanced dinner or substantial snack, consisting of healthy FATS, FIBER and PROTEIN (FFP) BEFORE any treats or trick or treating begins. Starting full and nourished is your best defense. 💪🏻
🧐WHY?
👉🏻Consuming FFP before or alongside the treat slows the absorption of glucose (sugar) into the bloodstream, softening the insulin response. This is your body’s best defense against the dramatic sugar highs and lows and mood swings.
Try these simple pre-indulgent combos:
🍎 Apple slices(fiber) with a generous dollop of nut butter (healthy fat, protein)
🎃A handful of pumpkin seeds and walnuts (FFP powerhouses)
🥒 A serving of hummus with a drizzle of olive oil (FFP) with cucumber slices (fiber)
The goal isn’t perfection, it’s awareness. 💡
If you use The Buffer, how does your body feel afterwards?
