How to drop blood sugar?
Are you one of those people whose blood sugar level is through the roof? Well, stress no more! Here are some awesome tips that will help you drop it and have a healthy life!
Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting has been gaining popularity lately. This technique involves abstaining from food for short periods (usually 16-24 hours). When you don’t eat for an extended period, your body’s glucose levels decrease, so insulin decreases as well.
Studies have shown that intermittent fasting helps with weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity in people who are overweight or obese. To pull off this trick successfully:
- Pick a convenient schedule
- Have self-control
- Stick to low-calorie drinks during the fasted state: water, unsweetened tea or coffee
Physical Activity
Exercise helps your muscles consume excess glucose from your bloodstream to use them as energy. Do not hesitate any further; put on some sneakers around town! Being active doesn’t necessarily mean going to the gym every day—it can involve anything you enjoy doing: hiking mountains, dancing flamenco or playing table tennis!
Here are four activities that can help increase physical activity:
Activities | Type Of Exercise | Duration |
---|---|---|
Playing football | Aerobic & Anaerobic | Mmm… The whole match obviously |
Riding bicycle | Aerobic exercise | At least 30 minutes |
Designated driver duty | stringing alcohol bottles all night long! | You know the drill |
Elevate those heart rates naturally while having fun simultaneously? What could be better?
Consume Less Carbs And Sugary Foods
This tip may sound like we’re taking the fun out of eating altogether forevermore, but hear us out real quick because cutting back on these foods benefits various aspects of our health, including blood sugar levels. Foods with high carbs and sugar rapidly raise blood glucose levels in the body, which can lead to weight gain and can affect insulin’s effectiveness or production.
Here are some tips for reducing carb/sugar intakes:
- Swap out carbs for vegetables: zucchini, cauliflower rice (have you tried this? It’s amazing!)
- Outright choose healthier options such as whole grains/brown rice instead of white flour
- Avoid consuming processed/junk food

Drink A Lot Of Water
Staying hydrated is crucial when it comes to maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Dehydration causes a rise in blood sugar level; thus drinking enough water will help that problem dissipate soon after. While most doctors suggest eight glasses per day (hat tip!), everyone has individual fluid requirements based on activity level, altitude and age group – informally known as ‘frequent bladder crushers.’
Add Fiber And Protein To Your Diet
A diet rich in fiber helps regulate digestion by slowing down the absorption process of carbohydrates into the bloodstream — fiber acts like a delay button therefore prevents sudden spikes in glucose anomalies while proteins sustain insulin sensitivity keeping hunger at bay.
Eating more fibrous meals entails having:
• Legumes
• Whole Grains
• Berries
• Avocadoes
Proteins such as meat, poultry, fish or tofu will give us lasting energy throughout the day!
At this juncture- let’s do another listicle as an all-around technique (I swear these lists just make life easier!)
Recommended protein sources include:
Dairy products (milk)
lean meats e.g., turkey breast/chicken without skin.
Fish(espec ially oily fish)i.e tuna or salmon
Add Some Comedy Flavor Sprinkles
These little guys may sound boring because – well – they are! As much as we try to make it more exciting by giving fanciful titles like “Omega-3 Fatty Acids” or “Keto Pancakes,” truthfully, they need no further seasoning. Just go ahead and include them in your diet – remember that less is more.
Let’s dive right into the next tip for lowering blood sugar levels:
Incorporate More Vinegar In Your Meals
The inclusion of vinegar, i.e., apple cider vinegar, in our meals has shown potential benefits such as increased insulin sensitivity and decreased post-meal glucose levels.
To add this low-calorie ingredient:
• Pour over salads instead of store-bought creams
Marinade meat dishes
Mmm. You’d never be lost with a refreshing bottle of apple cider vinegar!
Final Thoughts
Type 2 Diabetes can cause various complications such as nerve damage or even blindness when left unchecked; therefore, it’s essential to control high blood sugar levels before these horrors emerge! With these suggestions plus self-discipline (but shh! We won’t mention that) – nobody stops you from becoming healthier.
Psst: One last secret hack before we wrap up (this one’s only between us sis!) – adding ‘How To’ at the beginning and/or end articles attract readers’ attention every time!
