Value of Nutrient Density over Calorie Counting
Focusing on nutrient density rather than calorie counting is emphasized as a more important approach for maintaining a healthy diet. Stress caused by calorie counting can impact digestion negatively, highlighting the importance of understanding the density and nutrients in food. Glucose levels are crucial for mood, energy levels, and hormone balance, with a high intake of sugars or refined carbs without fats or protein causing blood glucose spikes. This insight underscores the significance of prioritizing nutrient-rich foods and managing glucose levels for overall health and well-being.
