Blood Sugar High

The faster the passage of glucose from the intestine to the blood, the faster the blood sugar rises and increases pancreatic insulin production.

The speed of intestinal glucose uptake depends on various factors:

Type of glycides (it is faster if it comes from simple glycides, slower if coming from complex wisterias, which require some digestive work to be transformed into glucose)
The nature of the food containing the glycids (it is possible to identify foods with a high glycemic index, which produce a rapid increase in blood sugar, and foods with a low glycemic index)
The composition of meals
The method of preparing meals
The distribution of meals

A marked and rapid increase in blood glucose and insulin is not desirable for the prevention of obesity, type 2 diabetes and arteriosclerosis and is suspected in some cancers, particularly breast cancer.

Tips for Psoriasis

by Dott.ssa Paola Proietti Cesaretti Biologa Nutrizionista

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by a genetic predisposition that causes strong systemic inflammation and an alteration of the immune system. It can affect the skin, nails, scalp, genital tract and joints.

Psoriatic symptoms can be triggered or increased in certain situations: stress, impaired intestinal function (leaky gut or SIBO), consumption of certain foods with an immunogenic and pro-inflammatory effect, pharmacological treatments or a lack of micronutrients (vitamin D, vitamins of group B, Magnesium, …), presence of bacterial, viral or fungal infections (they activate the immune system).
