Superspaiens Nutrition Pop Quiz!

Supersapiens athletes logged over 2 million app events in 2022.

89% have changed their fuelling and nutrition behaviours.

Here are a few things we've learned...take the quiz below!

Which is a benefit of maintaining stable glucose levels outside of exercise (between 80 - 140 mg/dL)?

Reduced inflammation, controlled hunger, better perception of how you feel, and stability in how you feel.

Reducing steep spikes and dips between exercise is key to feeling your best and maximising energy during exercise.
Does apple cider vinegar prevent unwanted glucose rushes?

Yes. Apple Cider Vinegar can. Vinegar, mixed into a salad dressing or even taken as a shot by itself, helps to blunt glucose rushes. If you're planning a high carb meal and don’t want the metabolic imbalance, take a shot of apple cider vinegar right before you eat, or try eating a salad with a vinaigrette first!
Is caffeine a performance enhancer?

Yes! It can:

1.Cause a greater increase in glucose to the same food intake

2.Enhance muscle glycogen resynthesis when combined with carbohydrate

3.Reduce perceived effort during exercise
Taking creatine with carbohydrates cannot enhance muscle glycogen stores

False. There seems to be a benefit on muscle glycogen content from co-ingesting creatine and carbohydrates.
Do people living or training at altitude typically have higher baseline glucose levels?

No.

If you're at altitude, you most likely have lower levels of baseline glucose. You may see an initial rise in glucose levels when traveling to altitude, but these should normalize with time.
Does the order in which you eat macronutrients (meat before potatoes or potatoes before meat) impact your glucose response?

Yes.

Eating fiber, fat, and protein before carbohydrates limits your glucose rushes. Try changing up the order of your meat, vegetables, and starches and see the difference it makes on your glucose response.
Does drinking alcohol tend to limit steep glucose rushes from food?

Yes!
BONUS: Mojito alcoholic beverages will likely cause a steep rush in glucose?

Yes, mojito is correct (due to the high sugar content).
