Sugar/Carb Flushing

This flushing or vascular dilation is caused by more stress on the digestive system resulting in a higher blood flow to the digestive system with the residual blood being heavier to the face. Three small meals with breakfast being the most important and grazing or snacks in between is better for limiting this kind of flushing. This will maintain the proper blood sugar content for energy to prevent fatigue or exhaustion. The type of food that you eat is also very important as various foods stimulate blood flow differently.

Simple carbohydrates such as donuts, sugars, alcohol, etc. enter the blood stream quickly causing hyperglycemia (high glucose spikes). This rapid influx of sugar into the blood stream is a potent vasodilator. Carbohydrates are needed for energy and as a part of every meal; however, let's try to enjoy the baked potatoes, beans, corn, apples (fruit but still a carbohydrate), etc. instead of simple carbohydrates. Fiber intake decreases the amount of food that the stomach has at one time and prolongs digestion; therefore, it prevents the sudden influx into the blood stream with the resultant flushing. The proteins, fruits, and vegetables provide the body with so many nutrients that are needed to repair the body tissue while carbohydrates are needed for energy and is most often stored as fat.
