3 Tips To Lower Your Blood Sugar Levels Without Drugs
{In our present day where obesity is becoming a problem, controlling insulin levels is a problem for many millions of humans globally. High insulin levels leads to many health problems in our bodies, such as being overweight and diabetes, that are expensive to treat with medication.
Is there a way to minimize or even prevent your excess blood sugar levels from damaging your health? Yes. There are 3 ways to lower your blood sugar levels without reverting to drugs or medications that you can start doing today.
TIP 1: Carbohydrates - Eat the Right Carbs
One of the best and one of the natural ways to lowering insulin in the body is through a good dieting plan for weight loss. Such a diet would be low in highly refined carbohydrates (i.e. packaged foods like cookies, white bread, pasta, etc).
These kind of carbs are certain to elevate your insulin levels for many people. Consume less of these foods (if you can call most packaged supermarket food actually food) to help lower your insulin levels significantly.
Eat bigger portions of protein and fat. Protein and fat when eaten together have a minimal effect on how much insulin your body releases during and after a meal. Increase your protein and fat portions in any one meal and increase your intake of fibrous vegetables such as cauliflower, kale, etc.
Concentrate on eating vegetables high in fiber is another thing you need to do to naturally lower your blood sugar levels. Eat fibrous vegetables like cauliflower, Broccoli, brussel sprouts, kale, lettuce, etc. Such fibrous vegetables take much longer to pass through your stomach, thereby slowing down insulin release and normalizing blood sugar levels.
TIP 2: Eat Every Few Hours
It is also advised that you eat often (say every 2-3 hours) instead of eating one big meal at a time. Why eat like this? This enables easier digestion and keeps your blood sugar level steady throughout the day because you are always feeding your body - there are no large drops in blood sugar levels between meals spaced too far apart.
TIP 3: Get Moving
Another natural and effective way to reduce insulin, lower blood sugar and prevent the probability of getting diabetes is through exercise. An exercise that is easy to do is a quick 45 minute walk or resistance training such as body weight only exercises. Such activities help not only burn calories but also excess sugars in the body thereby minimizing your blood sugar levels. It also helps to regulate standard body glucose.
Belly fat is also a danger when it comes to maintaining normal sugar levels. Belly fat increases heart disease and reduces insulin resistance. It is thus important to reduce the stomach fat. This can be done through working out and following a healthy diet. Water should be your primary beverage as well.
It is vital to maintain good weight. If you are getting to the stage of becoming over-weight, you must reduce it to a normal healthy weight for your age range. Your blood sugar level is better controlled when your body weight is at a normal point. Select the right foods to lose weight, get plenty of rest, avoid stress and get quality sleep.}
