Dr. Jen Ashton sheds light on the recently buzzy trend.
"We've heard that what you eat is important, we've heard when you eat is important -- obviously how much you eat. Nutrient sequencing takes that to a macro nutrient level, really looking at the three components of fats, proteins and carbs, fiber," ABC News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton explained of the concept first reported by the New York Times.
This eating method can be important for those with diabetes and other medical conditions, like someone easily impacted by sudden blood glucose spikes such as reactive hypoglycemia -- recurrent low blood sugar after a meal -- or those with postprandial hypotension, low blood pressure after eating.
As with any nutrition trends, individuals should consult a primary care doctor before making any changes to their diet. Ashton also said that anatomy and physiology can also play a role in the efficacy of nutrient sequencing because of digestion and thus varying blood sugar levels.
