How eating your vegetables first has major health benefits: Scientists say 'meal sequencing' is like 'a mini Ozempic'
Daily MailMost Americans will have done it at some point in their childhood - saving the veggies on their plates for last. Veggies like broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, and artichokes are packed with fiber, which regulates the body's sugars and slows gastric emptying, the process in which food moves from the stomach through the digestive tract. Green vegetables like broccoli, kale, and green beans are high in fiber, which increases satiety, regulates blood sugar, and can aid in weight loss Opting for these first could lead to increased satiety, leaving people too full for dessert. But it's not just keeping you full, with a growing body of research showing eating vegetables first also has direct physical benefits. 'It is important to “eat vegetables first and carbohydrate last” to ameliorate postprandial blood glucose and insulin even in fast eating,' the researchers wrote.
