La fatiga por azúcar : Descubre por qué los picos de glucosa son la verdadera causa del cansancio y el envejecimiento

Do you feel overcome by sleepiness after a meal? Do you lose focus easily or feel irritable for no apparent reason? You might be experiencing what Dr. Satoru Yamada calls "sugar fatigue"—a problem caused by sharp spikes and drops in blood glucose resulting from excessive carbohydrate consumption, even from foods that seem healthy. In this book, Dr. Satoru Yamada, a diabetes specialist, explains in detail—and with clinical data—the impact carbohydrates have on the body and the mechanisms behind it. He presents a simple method known as "Locabo" (low-carb) to keep blood sugar levels stable by paying attention to the order in which we eat foods. He also introduces the "Carbolast" strategy, which recommends saving carbohydrates for the end of the meal to prevent sudden glucose spikes. Furthermore, he highlights the importance of consuming adequate amounts of fat, revealing a surprising secret: foods like mayonnaise and butter can actually help prevent sharp blood glucose spikes. He also warns that ignoring sugar fatigue can accelerate aging and increase the risk of diabetes, hypertension, and arteriosclerosis, triggering what is known as the "metabolic domino effect." The author emphasizes how excessive carbohydrate intake can raise the risk of dementia and contribute to a loss of bone density. This is a practical guide to achieving better health by managing glucose levels without the stress of a strict diet. Dr. Yamada asserts that it is possible to enjoy fast food and desserts, provided you know how to consume them properly.
