INSIGHT

How Glucose Spikes Drive Fat Gain

  • Chronic glucose spikes signal the body to store excess glucose in muscle, liver, and fat cells which promotes fat gain.
  • Frequent spikes also raise cravings, fatigue, and chronically elevated insulin, making fat gain likelier even at equal calories.
INSIGHT

Three Harms Of Post-Meal Glucose Spikes

  • Large post-meal glucose spikes create three major harms: inflammation, accelerated aging (glycation), and high insulin release.
  • Insulin clears glucose by storing it, so spikes repeatedly trigger storage and downstream damage.

How Spikes Cause Inflammation And Aging

  • Excess glucose stresses mitochondria, producing reactive oxygen species that damage cells and trigger inflammation.
  • Glycation of proteins and chronically high insulin both increase inflammation and accelerate aging.
