The body’s self-healing power.
You don’t have to give up all carbs or sugar to stay healthy. Instead, small daily habits can flatten your glucose curve, preventing spikes and crashes that lead to cravings, fatigue, weight gain, and disease. These simple “glucose hacks” protect your body, give you steady energy, and allow you to enjoy food with wisdom and balance. Remember, caring for our bodies is an act of stewardship, as it says in 1 Corinthians 10:31, "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
Practical Hacks & Why They Work
The below are from Jessie Inchauspe's book 'Glucose Revolution'
Eat foods in the right order → Vegetables first, then protein/fat, then carbs.
Fiber slows glucose absorption.
Add a green starter → A small salad or veggie side before meals.
Creates a protective “net” for carbs.
Pair carbs with protein/fat → Never eat “naked carbs.”
Prevents sharp blood sugar rises.
Flatten your breakfast curve → Skip carb-only breakfasts (cereal, toast, juice).
Choose eggs, Greek yogurt, nuts, or veggies with protein.
Choose dessert over sweet snacks → Eating sugar after a meal reduces its impact.
Use vinegar wisely → 1–2 tsp in water or on a salad before meals lowers spikes.
Move after eating → 10–20 minutes of walking or light activity helps muscles absorb glucose.
Hydrate → Water supports digestion and blood sugar balance.
These hacks work because they support your body's self-healing power. By making small adjustments to when and how you eat, you can significantly impact your glucose levels and overall well-being.
Faith Connection
Just as these small daily habits create big changes in health, small daily disciplines in faith create lasting transformation. Spiritual growth doesn’t happen overnight—it comes from consistently choosing God’s way in everyday life. As Luke 16:10 reminds us, "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much."
