what's up ladies and gentlemen this is
0:02
David Benjamin from healthy wildf free
0:03
in today's video I'm going to be sharing
0:05
with you why sugar is the number one
0:08
fuel source and what you need to know
0:11
about sugar and glucose metabolism and
0:13
all these types of things the reason
0:14
this is so important is because your
0:17
body runs on sugar fat and protein these
0:21
are your energy sources your your fuel
0:23
sources and sugar is the fastest energy
0:27
source and when you consume sugar your
0:29
insulin Spike insulin is the hormone
0:31
that essentially allows sugar to be
0:33
utilized and metabolized as energy so
0:35
naturally when you consume sugar your uh
0:38
your insulin levels will Spike and what
0:40
happens Downstream from that is that if
0:42
your insulin levels are spiking too
0:44
often at a high frequency this will
0:46
cause inflammation oxidative stress
0:49
spikes of cortisol your stress hormone
0:51
it will cause inflammation and bloating
0:52
in your body because sugar is
0:54
inflammatory and furthermore you need to
0:56
know that sugar is very addictive in
0:58
fact there's research that shows that
1:00
sugar is actually more addictive get
1:02
this than cocaine I think that was in
1:04
labrats or mice you can look up that
1:06
study online and maybe I'll link
1:08
something up below uh so you really need
1:10
to understand that sugar is even though
1:12
it's a fast and really easily readily
1:14
available energy source it's also very
1:16
dangerous and it can become addictive
1:18
and it becomes something that really
1:20
harms and affects your health negatively
1:21
so ideally you want fat and protein as
1:23
fuel sources because these are more
1:25
dense macronutrients that take longer
1:27
for your body to metabolize they break
1:29
down more slowly and they work uh just
1:32
they just give you more energy for a
1:33
longer period of time whereas sugar is
1:35
this massive Spike and then massive drop
1:38
kind of like caffeine for example it's
1:39
this Spike and drop so today I'm going
1:42
to share with you how to better
1:43
metabolize and absorb glucose or sugar
1:47
and how to buffer that absorption so
1:49
that it doesn't spike your insulin
1:50
levels as much and it's something that
1:53
your body absorbs more slowly so the
1:54
first and most important thing that you
1:56
can do is whenever you consume sugar
1:58
burn calories that's literally the
2:00
number one thing that you can do and you
2:02
what I mean by burning calories is move
2:03
your body uh get your muscles moving get
2:06
muscle contraction in so whether it's
2:09
going for a walk a run playing a sport
2:11
biking swimming walking uh lifting
2:14
weights is ideally the best because as
2:16
far as uh glucose being used by your
2:19
body if you're really like straining and
2:21
stressing your muscles by lifting heavy
2:22
weights that glucose is going to be
2:25
stored in your muscle so keep this in
2:27
mind sugar is either stored in your
2:30
tissue or your fat tissue it's your
2:32
choice whether you want it stored in one
2:34
or the other so when you do consume
2:36
sugar do some push-ups do some squats in
2:40
place do some push-ups do some pull-ups
2:42
um you know do anything to move your
2:44
muscles and create muscle contractions
2:46
and if you can ideally do more intensity
2:49
heavier weight muscle contractions
2:51
that's going to store the glucose into
2:53
your muscles and it's going to take that
2:54
energy in and pack them into your
2:56
muscles and give you a lean healthy fit
2:58
strong physique so that's the first
3:00
thing you can do the second thing you
3:02
can do is to actually buffer your sugar
3:05
uh absorption into your body and you can
3:07
do this with macronutrients and with
3:09
fiber so fiber is the first thing fiber
3:12
uh just simply acts as a buffer so this
3:14
could be any form of fiber both soluble
3:15
or insoluble fiber uh and this could be
3:18
vegetables or fruits have sugar in them
3:20
but you have the fiber along with it uh
3:22
or anything uh nuts seeds um anything
3:25
that has fiber in it fiber is just going
3:27
to slow down that Sugar metabolism and
3:29
slow down that sugar absorption so if
3:30
you are having sugar if you have fiber
3:32
with it that does help additionally fat
3:34
and protein your macronutrients if
3:37
you're having sugar have some fat with
3:39
it have some protein with it because
3:40
this fat and protein will break down
3:42
more slowly and that slower breakdown
3:44
will cause that sugar to be absorbed at
3:46
a slower rate therefore it won't spike
3:48
your insulin levels as much and it won't
3:49
hit your bloodstream as hard and it'll
3:51
be less abrasive on your body so fiber
3:55
protein or fat are good protein or
3:58
excuse me are good buff
4:00
metabolisms that will help your body
4:03
slowly metabolize that glucose slowly
4:06
take in that sugar and not spike your
4:07
insulin levels that uh hormone that
4:10
regulates sugar control in the body so
4:12
much it'll be more buffered and just
4:14
healthier on your body overall so once
4:17
again fat protein or uh fiber basically
4:21
so those three things fat protein or
4:23
fiber or Fiber in the other order fiber
4:25
protein and fat are going to ensure that
4:28
your body utilizes sugar more slowly and
4:31
it actually absorbs it at a healthier
4:32
rate another tip here that I would
4:34
recommend is to not consume liquid sugar
4:37
if you are consuming liquid sugar get
4:39
fiber get protein get fat along with it
4:41
because liquid sugar is quite literally
4:43
the worst there's no uh there's no uh
4:46
you know nothing dense that is slowing
4:48
the absorption of that sugar so that's
4:50
why it's the worst thing you could
4:51
possibly do is to consume liquid sugar
4:54
now there are other things that you can
4:56
utilize as well apple cider vinegar is
4:58
really great for helping to to benefit
5:00
your sugar metabolism um a lot of
5:02
liquids I don't really trust because I
5:04
don't know the water they're using brag
5:06
sold out uh so I don't really utilize
5:08
the liquids anymore unfortunately but I
5:09
do have a really great um pill it's a
5:13
supplement and it's called uh it's
5:15
called ACV uh complex I believe it's
5:17
called ACV complex I'll link it up below
5:19
but basically it's apple cider vinegar
5:22
uh lemon ginger sylon cinnamon which
5:25
silon cinnamon I'll talk about also
5:27
helps to balance your blood sugar levels
5:28
so the fact that has ACV and silon
5:31
cinnamon in one formula along with lemon
5:32
and ginger as digestive AIDS uh this is
5:35
beneficial as well so I will link that
5:36
supplement below along with a 15% off
5:39
link that link will give you 15% off
5:41
that supplement so that's the one
5:42
supplement I would recommend for blood
5:44
sugar regulation and then Additionally
5:47
you have um like I said silon cinnamon
5:50
so the cinnamon that you get at the
5:51
store is called cassia c a SS I a it's
5:54
just simply the variety of cinnamon syon
5:56
s e or excuse me c y l o n cinnamon is
6:00
the better more scientifically proven
6:02
and validated form of cinnamon that
6:04
helps to balance your blood sugar levels
6:06
so with that being said silon cinnamon
6:08
is just something to have on hand you
6:09
can add silent cinnamon to drinks to
6:12
teas to um you know recipes like say you
6:15
have sugar in a recipe or sugar in some
6:16
sort of drink uh literally just add the
6:19
silent cinnamon to it if you can if it
6:20
makes sense if it fits in the recipe or
6:22
just consume it by adding it to water
6:24
stirring it up and mixing it uh and
6:26
drinking it and that will give you a
6:28
blood sugar balancing cinnamon so um
6:31
that is great and then another thing too
6:32
is if you have sugar cravings and you're
6:34
looking to get past and through your
6:36
sugar Cravings I recommend I don't
6:38
recommend quitting sugar cold turkey
6:40
because you're just going to quit for a
6:42
little bit and then you're going to the
6:43
Sugar receptors are going to kick in
6:44
just like the cocaine receptors right
6:46
like this is the same thing literally in
6:47
the brain and you're going to Crave it
6:48
again and you're going to go get sugar
6:50
and you're going to take like you're
6:51
going to eat like double or triple as
6:52
much and that's going to just create
6:53
this yo-yo effect and we've all to some
6:55
degree probably experienced sugar
6:57
Cravings in our life and this is just
6:58
not a healthy way of going about it so
7:00
what I would recommend is either honey
7:02
raw honey local unpasturized raw honey
7:06
is valuable because it's giving you that
7:07
sweet tooth but at the same time it has
7:09
enzymes and minerals and vitamins and
7:11
things in there uh that buffer that and
7:13
help the absorption of sugar a bit
7:15
better and then the other one is Stevia
7:17
now Stevia this is a company called Oma
7:19
Organics they actually sell sylon
7:21
cinnamon and Stevia both Stevia is a
7:24
zero glycemic index sweetener so that's
7:27
really valuable this is a sweet Blossom
7:28
flavor sweet Blossom is the flow from
7:30
the orange tree it's a very like Fruity
7:33
delicious uh amazing flavored Stevia it
7:36
doesn't have as much of that aftertaste
7:38
as the other ones have uh and it's just
7:39
delicious so they have a sweet Blossom
7:41
they have a vanilla one they have a
7:42
butterscotch one and they have a plain
7:44
one so these are great for adding to
7:45
teas or drinks or if you want to make
7:47
natural soda from scratch I talked about
7:49
making a natural soda from scratch on
7:51
this YouTube channel so you can check
7:53
that video out as well uh that's all
7:56
valuable so I would recommend getting on
7:58
sylon cinnamon to balance your blood
8:00
extral levels and then getting on
8:02
getting some Stevia in order to give you
8:04
yourself that sweet tooth so that you
8:06
don't have that ongoing sweet tooth so
8:07
you can kind of like wean yourself off
8:09
of sugar with stevia and then the
8:11
cinnamon will help offer that as well so
8:13
the three recommendations I would make
8:14
are to to injust besides fitness and
8:18
exercise and building muscle and fiber
8:20
fat and protein to buffer sugar
8:22
metabolism is uh silent cinnamon stevia
8:26
and apple cider vinegar also chromium I
8:28
should add this ch ium is also very
8:30
important for your blood sugar levels
8:31
this is a mineral that helps to regulate
8:32
your pancreas that's in like broccoli
8:35
and turkey and eggs and things like that
8:37
so chromium is also very very valuable
8:39
in fact the richest source of chromium
8:40
in the world is Brazil nuts uh so get
8:43
some Brazil nuts in your D I think it's
8:44
like four or five Brazil nuts a day
8:45
literally gives you your daily
8:46
recommended value of chromium so eat
8:48
Brazil nuts uh that's going to help as
8:50
well so uh this is all useful
