Stop Starch-Induced Glucose Surges

Having been brought up in a family that seemingly experienced as much pasta and Italian bread passing through our oral cavities as simple air, it should be of no surprise that a majority of my relatives (women included) might have made the short list for the Falcon’s front line. Amazingly, many of these “stout” loved ones lived well into their 90’s….after experiencing one or two coronary incidents which usually led to some behavior modifying diet and other positive lifestyle changes.
While I am in favor of portion control as I gain in years, (yes, it is tough!), we all go through those periods when it seems like meals are the constant “go to” plan when gathering with friends. Who am I kidding? It’s always been the “go to” plan! I am trying to consume one-two glasses of water before I go into attack mode; this does cut the calorie volume a good bit if I can ignore the bread and olive oil! Increased blood sugar has become extremely epidemic in our society and children are often victims way too early! When I came upon this article, I felt that it was well worth sharing. The supplement that is highlighted in the article may help those whose discipline is not quite as strong as it needs to be. Our diet and exercise routines do not need to be complicated, but they can evolve to that stage if we allow ourselves to reach a crisis state. Some wise person once said, “eat to live, don’t live to eat.” I’m willing to bet that the person was not Italian!
