How To Lower Your Blood Sugar
February 19, 2010 5:33 am weight lossYour body needs sugar to produce energy. Without it, you would die. Unfortunately, too much sugar can also kill you. As you can see, this is a very delicate balance.
Unfortunately, in this day and age, high levels of blood sugar are becoming commonplace. In fact, even children are starting to appear with diabetes-something that has never happened before. Diabetes, by the way, is an extreme elevation of blood sugar.
So here is how to lower your blood sugar for maximum health:
1. Exercise: Not only will exercise keep you thinner, but it will also help your body process blood sugar more efficiently which in turn will lower it. Now any exercise will help here, but resistance training is by far the best thing you can do.
2. Use special ingredients: By far, losing weight is the most powerful way to lower blood sugar. However, there are certain supplements that can also help here. They make the receptors on your cells more absorbent towards sugar. One said supplement, or power food, is cinnamon.
3. Have some caffeine: Specifically, in the form of coffee. You see, some research has shown that drinking coffee can lower levels of blood sugar. Just make sure you don’t add a bunch of creamer or sugar because this would simply cancel out the benefits.
4. Have some chia seeds: Chia seeds are a nutty tasting whole grain that have been shown to lower blood sugar. Again, the mechanism most likely involves increased insulin sensitivity at the receptor level. Now the key here is to find ways to incorporate chia seeds into your daily diet.
5. Rotate carb intake: Carbs spike levels of blood sugar. And one way to buffer this is to rotate your carb intake. By doing so, you will increase sensitivity to carbs while decreasing blood sugar levels. I recommend having more carbs on the days you are most active and less carbs on the days where you are less active.
Getting your blood sugar low is one of the best things you can do to help increase your quality of life. So many diseases are related to elevated blood sugar levels. Thus, make sure you start implementing these tips today.
