Japanese meal: why eating miso soup before rice helps regulate blood sugar?
As she explains using 2 graphics in her Instagram post, the doctor “carbohydrates should be eaten last” in your meal, because it will change your body’s response to glucose. This is why she invites you to taste your miso soup before eating your rice whatever the other items on your Japanese menu. “Miso soup contains protein and a little fiber, so it should be eaten first.” she reveals, to justify this recommendation, because it is fiber that helps our body better respond to the influx of carbohydrates to regulate our blood sugar and limit as much as possible the glucose peak caused by this carbohydrate-rich meal. “You don’t need to wait between foods – and it even works in a meal like this that’s vegan” specifies the expert.
In addition to taking this good reflex, the doctor tells us more about the rest of our Japanese menu, whatever it is according to our tastes, adding that “the ideal order in which to eat is: vegetables first, proteins and fats secondd, then starches and sugars”. You have been warned to limit your weight gain and stay in good health.
