Supporting GLP-1 Naturally

Laroot has been created with one thought: food that tastes better than you expect it to, food that makes you feel that it was cooked with love, food that does not compromise on respecting traditions from around the world… and all that? For the purpose of this very food being your medicine.

Steve Jobs once said:
"Eat your food as your medicine. Otherwise, you have to eat medicine as your food."

The Miracle Drug

GLP-1s work to lower the body's blood sugar, protect the cells that produce insulin, and reduce cardiovascular inflammation. Thus, its name: the miracle drug.

Of course, Laroot's motto is that the only medicines you should be partaking in should be the nutrients of your food, but alas, if GLP-1 helps you in whatever part of your health journey, we are proponents of health in all its forms.

Here is a simple guide to foods that work great with the GLP-1 molecule and help promote its function:

1. Fermented & High-Fiber Foods

Firstly and foremost, fermented and high fiber foods are the pinnacle of activation and support for GLP-1.

• Kimchi

• Sauerkraut

• Yogurt

• Kefir

These should be an everyday staple of your diet — and are available in our Laroot Kimchi Probiotic and Breakfast Bundle.

2. Protein-Rich Foods

Protein-rich foods and ingredients are the second most important factor to consider. Support your health with:

• Lean meats

• Eggs

• Dairy

• Plant proteins such as tofu and legumes

Don’t forget to add extra plant-based proteins, roast chicken, braised beef, wild-caught fish and more to your favorite Laroot World dishes!

3. Healthy Fats

Healthy fats help delay gastric emptying and increase GLP-1 activities.

These include:

• Nuts and seeds

• Olive oil (we use only cold-pressed, organic olive oil in all our products — and also love the Fancy Peasant olive oil)

• Fatty fish

Our salads are a permanent menu option, featuring a choice of salmon or smoked trout — the right choice for lunch for anyone concerned with GLP-1.

4. Polyphenol-Rich Foods

Polyphenol-rich foods help stimulate GLP-1!

This is your:

• Red wine (YES!)

• Dark chocolate (should we include dark chocolate with your Laroot delivery? Please reply and let us know!)

• Green tea

• Berries (for those who want to avoid addictive vices such as cocoa, alcohol, and caffeine)
  
  

Have a healthy week, everyone.
Laroot is here for you!
