How to Maintain Blood Sugar Levels?

Associated with diabetes, high blood sugar is dangerous for your health. Often dietary habits lead to increased blood sugar levels, which leads to more health problems. There are medicines that help control blood sugar, but we cannot possibly only depend on medicines to control our health now, can we? That’s why, we also need to improve our diet plans, everyday habits, and careless attitude, if fitness is what we want. The following points might help -

• Exercise - Not just to lower blood sugar, exercise is necessary for our overall fitness as well. It keeps us healthy, fresh, strong, and fit. Exercise promotes insulin sensitivity and helps your muscles use blood sugar for movement. This can lead to decreased blood sugar levels.
• Say ‘NO’ to carbs - Your body splits down the carbs you eat into glucose, which then increases your blood sugar levels. As such, reducing your carb intake can aid blood sugar regulation.
• Drink lots of water - Your body breaks down the carbs you eat into glucose, which then raises your blood sugar levels. As such, reducing your carb intake can aid blood sugar regulation.
• Yoga - Regulating your stress levels through exercise or relaxation methods like yoga may help you regulate blood sugar levels.
• Consume Fibers - The more fiber you give your body, the better your health will be. They not just regulate blood sugar levels, but also ensure your heart remains fit and fine. Fiber plays a preventative role, too. Studies have found that high-fiber diets can reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes by 15 to 19 percent compared to low-fiber diets. 
• Get enough sleep - Sleeping is very important. It is important for your well-being, as well as overall health. In case of blood sugar levels too, if you get an ample amount of sleep every day, your body regulates over 23% of blood sugar. 
• Weight-loss - Carrying around extra weight is one of the main causes of insulin resistance, keeping the blood sugar-lowering hormone from working properly. Losing about 5 to 10 percent of body weight — results in improved insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance.
• Don’t skip breakfast - Breakfast that is high in protein has been beneficial over breakfasts that are high in carbohydrates, according to research from The University of Missouri-Columbia. Protein helps lower post-meal glucose, thus helping you maintain a healthy blood sugar level. 
• Include elements in your diet - Eating foods rich in chromium and magnesium can help prevent deficiencies and reduce the risk of blood sugar problems
• Snack on healthy snacks - Snacking between meals could keep your blood sugar levels from spiking or plummeting throughout the day. But make sure you don’t eat deep-fried, oily, or jun snacks. Include soy nuts, fox nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc. in your diet. 
• Get checked up regularly - consult a doctor, then follow a datasheet to check your blood-sugar levels. You can either get it checked at a clinic or buy a home-testing kit and do it yourself. 

So, follow the above-mentioned steps and say hello to a better life! 

Happy Health!
