Manage Blood Sugar Naturally
Manage Blood Sugar Naturally
The easiest way to manage blood sugar naturally is to decrease your sugar intake. Look at the ingredients and find foods that are low in sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and modified corn starch. Even “natural” forms of sugar are still sugar and will affect your blood levels. Check out the Fooducate app to scan foods at the grocery store to learn about their quality and how much sugar they contain.
Here are more simple ways to manage blood sugar naturally:
Eat breakfast every day with protein
By eating breakfast every day with a source of protein, you can balance your glucose and have the energy to do the things you love. You’re less likely to be hungry or reach for sugary snack slater in the day. Getting at least 15 grams of protein a couple of times a day can stabilize your blood sugar and even help improve your sleep. Four ounces of cottage cheese or a half-cup of almonds are examples of how you can get to 15 grams of protein pretty quickly. Other great protein sources include quinoa, beans, lean meats, nuts, seeds, yogurt and eggs.

Stress Management
Recognizing stress and your response to stress is an important step to improve sleep naturally. Excess stress due to work, school, financial, or even health-related stress can increase your cortisol levels. Increased cortisol levels can negatively affect the quality and consistency of sleep.
