Last night, after another stressful day at work, I decided to unwind with a cup of tea and do some research on health and nutrition.

That’s when I stumbled upon the fascinating work of Dr. Mindy Pelz. I’ve got to admit, I was shocked by what I discovered, and I felt I had to share it with you.

You know that warm, fresh bread we love for breakfast?

Or that delicious muffin to go with our coffee?

Well, it turns out they’re real villains when it comes to our youth. Dr. Pelz explains that these foods, rich in sugar and refined carbohydrates, cause our blood glucose levels to skyrocket. It’s like we’re giving our body an adrenaline shot first thing in the morning!

But don’t panic. There are alternatives that can bring incredible benefits:

  • Opt for fiber-rich fruits and vegetables
  • Choose whole grain or slow-fermented breads
  • Include lean proteins in your breakfast
