KEEPING BLOOD SUGAR STABLE


By peace....veggies....heartbeats at my feet (Visit website)



Squirrel
You can learn a lot about how nutrition and lifestyle actually affects the way you feel.

Look for answers to the following questions;

is there a significant amount of sugar and/or refined foods in your diet?
do you drink fruit juices?
do you skip meals or are there periods where you go without eating for longer than four hours?
are you shaky, irritable or weak at certain times of the day?

If you answered 'yes' to any one of the above questions, follow these suggestions for better blood sugar balance;

do not skip meals, especially breakfast
eat something every 3 to 4 hours (not large amounts of food, just snacks)
it is important to have some protein at every meal
the mineral chromium is helpful in maintaining blood sugar levels - found in nuts and wholegrains
limit fruits in your diet and avoid dried fruit, as these are concentrated in sugar - have no more than two pieces of fruit a day
include healthy fats in your diet - try coconut oil
exercise - toned muscle is more metabolically active and enhances blood-sugar maintenance
