GLP-1 Boosting Foods
Foods that increase GLP-1 naturally.
In last week’s post we covered the 5 major factors that disrupt GLP-1 activity, the hormone produced in the gut that helps with weight loss by reducing appetite and food intake.
As a recap, here are the top factors that impair GLP-1 production and disrupt weight loss efforts as a result:
Processed foods and added sugar.
Gut dysbiosis (poor gut health).
Excess blue light exposure from phones, laptops, TV, and fluorescent lights.
Chronic stress.
Lack of sleep.
Today we’re going to look at the specific foods and nutrients that boost GLP-1 levels naturally.
Improvements in GLP-1 levels will lead to fewer food cravings, better blood glucose levels, and increased satiety, making it easier to lose weight and/or maintain a healthy weight.
Let’s take a look at how to naturally increase GLP-1 levels.
