🌿 Health Hack: Eating Dessert Instead of Sweet Snacks 🍰

Today’s health hack comes from French biochemist and wellness influencer Jessie Inchauspé, aka: “The Glucose Goddess”… 

With a suggestion for your sweet tooth:

Swapping a sweet snack for a post-meal dessert!

Here’s why you might want to consider this option:

• 🍽️ Post-meal treats: Sugar hits a full stomach, absorbing slowly.

• 📉 Smaller sugar surge: Gentle on blood glucose, avoiding spikes.

• 🧘‍♂️ Steady vibes: Keeps mood and energy levels even.

• 🔥 Keep the burn going: Aids in maintaining fat-burning mode.

• 🚫 Craving crusher: Ditches the cycle of sugar cravings.

The result of this choice?

A more stable mood, sustained energy, and less cravings later on.
