“Olive Oil Before Carbs: Study Shows Meal Order Can Blunt Blood Sugar Spikes” — what this page in the network covers. A new study suggests that consuming olive oil before carbohydrate-rich foods may significantly reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes. Researchers found that mice fed olive oil prior to carbs had a lower glycemic response compared to those that ate carbs first. This finding highlights the importance of meal sequencing, not just food choices, in managing blood sugar levels.
The study adds to growing evidence that the order in which we eat macronutrients can influence metabolic health, potentially offering a simple dietary strategy for people with diabetes or prediabetes. While the research was conducted in mice, the results align with human studies showing that fat can slow carbohydrate absorption. The takeaway: a drizzle of olive oil before a pasta or bread course might be a practical way to keep glucose levels steadier.
