Digital Desk: While many of
us save the sabzi for last, some of us prefer to eat it first. But did you know
that our health is also impacted by the order in which we consume our meals?
Nutritionist Lovneet Batra suggests eating veggies first, then proteins and
fats, and finally carbs to aid in improved digestion.
Therefore, a key factor in
determining the post-meal glucose and insulin level is the order in which the
food plate is devoured, she noted in an Instagram post.
How is it beneficial?
According to Batra,
beginning a meal with vegetables and protein and ending it with carbohydrates
aids in maintaining satiety. This is due to the fact that protein reduces the
pace at which carbohydrates release sugar into the bloodstream, preventing a
sugar "high" and subsequent crash as well as hunger pangs, the author
continued.

Batra, altering the food on your plate and the sequence in which you eat can

Nutritionist Nancy Dehra had
previously recommended using the one-bowl method to practise portion
management; two-thirds of your bowl should contain salad and protein, and
one-third should contain your "favourite carbs."
Protein is rich in satiety
and so keeps you full for a longer period of time, but salads and vegetables
are high in fiber and minerals and immediately fill you up. She noted that most
of us often consume carbohydrates first when eating from a plate and bowl
system (since they are the tastiest macronutrient). While carbohydrates are not
harmful to you, she added, every meal should also have the right amount of
protein and fat. According to Dehra, "this strategy will help you keep
your portion in check and eat less unintentionally.
