Experts say that eating vegetables before the meat or rice on the plate during meals is medically beneficial.
According to a study, taking care of the order in which you eat can help you keep your blood sugar levels in check and keep you feeling fuller for longer and help you lose weight.
Vegetables like broccoli, brussels sprouts and artichokes are rich in fiber. Fiber slows down the digestion process while controlling the amount of sugar in the body.
According to the American Dietitian, we can’t ignore that fiber consumption by starting with vegetables can lead to lower carbohydrate consumption overall. It is not necessarily the vegetables that cause this, but the fiber in them could possibly be the cause of it all.
In a study published in the journal Nutrient, researchers examined 18 young healthy women in Japan. These women ate either vegetables first or carbohydrates in their meals.
In the study, researchers found that participants who started their meal with vegetables had lower postprandial blood sugar and insulin levels than those who started with carbohydrates.
