Gut health/nutrition tips for Valentine's Day:
"Gut health plays a major role in so many areas of our health, including areas that could get in the way of a romantic Valentine’s Day. GI discomfort from impaired gut health is an obvious problem but less obvious is the impact our gut has on our emotions. Many neurotransmitters responsible for our mood and emotions are made in the gut so when our gut health is in a funk, it can put us in an emotional funk too. One of those neurotransmitters, serotonin, is also responsible for sexual desire and arousal so impaired gut health could also impair your performance in the bedroom and no one has time for that on Valentine’s Day!
To stay on track with your health goals this Valentine’s Day try making a low carb dessert with your partner. This will keep your sugar intake low, your energy levels high, and allow you to spend some quality time with your partner in the process. If you do opt for the full sugar desserts this Valentines day, try going for a walk with your partner afterwards. Research shows that walking after a higher carb meal can reduce the blood sugar impact. There are also some other Valentine’s Day physical activities that could provide similar benefit but those haven’t been researched as thoroughly."
According to Dr. Jaime Seeman, Chief Medical Officer at BioCoach, a wellness program that helps guide individuals suffering from poor metabolic health:
“Type 2 diabetes disproportionately affects minority populations most often due to the lack of affordable healthy eating options and the way unhealthy food is marketed to minority populations. Standard of care treatment for diabetes has proven to be insufficient in combating type 2 diabetes and the new holistic methods that have shown benefit are often not affordable. The diabetes management industry should prioritize educating on affordable healthy eating in areas where access to healthy food is less common and provide affordable tools and resources to make tracking important diabetic markers and improving them accessible to all."
“The pandemic has highlighted that metabolic disease is a huge problem in this country.” noted Dr. Jaime Seeman, Chief Medical Officer of BioCoach. “Diabetes and prediabetes are not only a co-morbidity but a major risk factor of severe COVID-19 and mortality from it.”
