Here are the easiest things you can do each day to help achieve
that goal:
Take a
shot of apple cider vinegar.
Swigging
apple cider vinegar might not sound appealing, but it could help keep your
blood sugar in balance if taken before you eat. Some research has found that
consuming ACV reduced post-meal blood sugar levels by about half in healthy
patients. The theory is that acetic acid, a component of the vinegar, slows
down the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar in the bloodstream. Pro tip:
Mix a tablespoon or two into a glass of water—taking it straight will burn!
1. Breakfast – The
Most Important Meal
Make
sure you have a high-energy breakfast and modest dinner if you want to keep
dangerous blood sugar spikes under control. If you eat more calories in the
morning, when your glucose response to food is lowest, you will reduce glucose
peaks throughout the day.
2. Physical Activity
is a Must
Exercise
is crucial for your blood sugar control. You do not have to hit the gym and
sweat out on the treadmill as if it is the end of the world. Just 30 minutes a
day of light exercise is all you need. Muscle movement means utilization of
insulin, which in turn means keeping glucose under control. So add some yoga,
jogging or simple walking to your everyday schedule and you will see the
difference it makes.
3. Probiotics, Your
Secret Ally
You
already know that probiotics support your digestive health, but they also have
an important role in maintaining your blood sugar levels within normal limits.
Natural sources of probiotics are plain yogurt, kefir, kombucha or kimchi. And
if you want to help probiotic bacteria thrive, you can also add to your diet
fiber-rich leafy greens and vegetables.
4. Meal Balance
Make
sure that you include healthy fats, fibers and proteins into each meal to
manage your appetite and stabilize blood sugar. Although each of these
nutrients help balance blood sugar on their own, they are more powerful and
efficient when used together.
5. Apple Cider
Vinegar - A Secret Weapon
Although
it might not sound appealing, a shot of apple cider vinegar mixed with water
before you eat, will help in keeping your blood sugar in balance. Apple cider
vinegar can cut post-meal blood sugar levels by half. ACV contains acetic acid
which slows down the carbohydrates’ conversion into sugar in the bloodstream.
