Managing your blood sugar is important. Thus, staying in your target range helps improve your energy and mood, as well as preventing or delaying serious long-term health issues such as heart or kidney disease or even visions loss.
Here are some simple ways to help you lower your blood sugar levels naturally, at home:
#1. Exercise regularly to help your muscles use blood sugar for energy and muscle contraction and maintain a moderate weight.
#2. Reduce your carb intake, eat fiber-rich foods (vegetables, fruits, and whole grains), plan your meals properly and maintain a moderate weight.
#3. Drink enough water regularly to stay hydrated and help your kidneys eliminate any excess of sugar through urine.
#4. Get at least 7 to 8 hours of quality sleep per night. This can help to maintain your blood sugar levels and promote a healthy weight.
#5. Choose foods with a low glycemic index (55 or less GI) such as oats, beans, lentils, and whole wheat pasta.
Remember to usually check your blood sugar and keep a record for a better blood sugar management.
