Tips for Success & Diabetes Prevention
To maximise the benefits for blood sugar management:
- Prioritise Fibre: The high fibre content in chia seeds slows down glucose absorption, preventing insulin spikes.2
- Check Labels: Always choose "unsweetened" kefir. Hidden sugars in flavoured versions can counteract the anti-inflammatory benefits of the matcha.
- Boost Insulin Sensitivity: Matcha is rich in EGCG, an antioxidant that may improve insulin activity.3
- Low-GI Toppings: Stick to berries rather than tropical fruits to keep the glycemic load low.
