  • NUTRITION Why breakfast is not the most important meal of the day

There is no doubt that the connections from the Qatar 2022 World Cup that the

most human

Luis Enrique

makes daily

are bringing the methods of the

national coach

to take care of themselves closer to the public.

In the last direct from him, the Asturian has responded again to a question about

food

and has taken advantage of the suggestion to talk about an intelligent sensor that he was wearing on his arm.

Of course, clarifying that it is not an advertisement, but a

gadget

that helps you measure your

blood glucose level

.

"I really like fish, healthy fats, olive oil, avocado... Now, do you see this

patch

I'm wearing here? It's not an experiment, but

it indicates glucose

. That is, the

level of sugar in blood

depending on what you have eaten. It is from the

Glucovibes

brand . I am not taking anything with me, you can rest easy," explained

Luis Enrique

.

This

device

is accompanied by an application, he added, and it helps him to better manage intakes, so that

metabolic problems

do not arise , he had folksy language.

"You already know that if you have a sugar spike from the repera,

blood sugar

rises and the pancreas has to secrete

insulin

to lower it, because it is not the most appropriate for health. It is a bit like a

patch for a diabetic

".

In fact, he has been using it for two weeks and observing how his body behaves with each meal eaten.

"If, suddenly, I overdo something and I see how I felt and that I was not very well, I look at the graph and I can really see.

It is very interesting for those who like health

and also very interesting for all those who do endurance sport, because during the race you can see the glucose peaks and how to supplement yourself", he advised.

OTHER ATHLETES WHO USE IT

The coach is right and, in the

sports performance

section , he is not the only elite athlete who uses this digital metabolic GPS.

Dani Carvajal,

from Real Madrid,

Sergio Canales,

from Betis, and the Spanish marathon champion Jorge Blanco have also signed up for this measurement that helps them perform better and better control their lifestyle.

cycling

team and with the Spanish Ski Federation, the Polish Speed ​​Skating Federation and the French Women's Cycling Federation.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Glucovibes, the digital solution that analyzes how glucose affects metabolic health.EM

This brand that monitors nutrition to follow different strategies has developed the first

app

that integrates information from glucose biosensors,

wearables

[wearable or wearable technology] activity and rest in the same space.

With all this data at his fingertips, "

the user can improve his lifestyle whatever his goal is," says Alberto Conde, CEO of Glucovibes

.

This engineer by profession with an autoimmune disease, without training in biosciences, studied a master's degree in Nutrition Sciences to investigate alternative pathways to his ailments and thus created the device.

"This combination allows us to draw up a nutritional plan focused on the objective of each one, whether it is sleeping better, losing weight, achieving a healthy lifestyle,

increasing our performance or preventing healthy people from developing diseases

that affect metabolism," continues the entrepreneur. .

In addition to monitoring the blood glucose level during the activity, it is important to know what happens outside, he continues to analyze.

Rest and recovery are elements where glycemia helps us to know if it is being good or is being conditioned.

"Detection of

nocturnal hypoglycemia can be an indicator of compromised recovery

, which can generate a greater risk of injury for the athlete," Conde exemplifies.
