It’s time to re-think what’s for breakfast. When it comes to blood sugar levels, breakfast is truly the most important meal of the day. A breakfast that creates a big glucose spike will make us hungry again soon after and deregulate our blood sugar levels for the rest of the day. Start your day off right with a savory breakfast full of protein, fiber and fat. Think scrambled eggs and breakfast sausage, avocado toast with hard boiled egg, greek yogurt with nuts and berries. If you are going to have a smoothie (my go-to breakfast on busy weekday mornings) - make sure it contains protein, fat and fiber. My usual recipe: ½ cup frozen cauliflower, 1 cup frozen berries (the most low sugar fruit), 1 scoop paleo protein powder, 1 tablespoon coconut yogurt, ¼ avocado, 1 teaspoon MCT oil and almond milk. What’s your favorite breakfast option? #bloodsugarbalance #breakfasttime #womenshealth

5 Tips to Reduce Salt! High salt consumption is a significant concern amongst seafarers, as it can raise blood pressure and elevate the risk of developing heart disease. Reducing salt intake can significantly improve health and decrease these risks. Here are 5 simple tips to help you cut back on salt without sacrificing flavor: 1. Check Labels 🔍. Check food labels for salt or sodium content. Choose low-sodium options whenever possible. 2. Cook Wisely 👨🍳. Use fresh ingredients if available and season with herbs and spices instead of salt. 3. Rinse Canned Food 🥫. Reduce salt content by thoroughly rinsing canned vegetables, beans, and other items before use. 4. Watch the Condiments ❗. Sauces, dressings, and condiments such as soy sauce and ketchup, can be high in salt. Use them sparingly. 5. Prepare your Own Dressings 🥄.
