BODY This is how Luis Enrique takes care of himself to be "stronger than vinegar"
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.
The footballers
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.
Glucovibes
also collaborates with the KernPharma
cycling
team and with the Spanish Ski Federation, the Polish Speed Skating Federation and the French Women's Cycling Federation.
Its price is 200 euros and it is available
online
.
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.
