What should i do if my glucose is high?

So, you have a higher than normal glucose level. Don’t panic! There are plenty of things you can do to get your body back in balance without feeling like it’s the end of the world!

What is High Glucose?

Before we start talking about what you need to absolutely indulge in, let’s first understand what exactly high glucose means.

Simply put, when you eat food rich in carbohydrates (like pasta or bread), your gut breaks down those carbs into sugar. This sugar enters your bloodstream and travels throughout the body – this includes all organs, muscle tissue as well as fat tissues. In healthy individuals with optimal blood sugar regulation mechanisms, insulin released by pancreas helps move that blood-borne sugar into cells so that it can be used for energy effectively.

However sometimes our bodies struggle with processing insulin appropriately and can lead to increased levels of blood-borne sugar which eventually gets stored around different parts of our body instead of being utilized for energy production within cells. Over time this excess storage mechanism (triglyceride/HDL ratio) lead to damage over many physiological systems including cardiovascular health and even cognitive decline.

Drink Some Water

Often times people confuse dehydration with hunger pangs-Next time before digging 𝓲𝓷𝓽𝓸 that pie take a sip(10 oz./300 ml.)of water &wait 15 mins If those pesky hunger pangs remain The slice-o-pie win else repeat for another 15min/1 hr

But how does drinking water help when one has abnormally high levels of glucose?

When there is too much circulating glucose fluid builds up around cells leading them to swell-and brain responds aggressively increasing thirst .Drinking lots-a-water helps increase urine volume,simultaneously decreasing amount-of-glucose present-in-urine=Good news ~~one~~ right? Also gluconeogenesis (production of glucose in the liver) can be decreased with optimal hydration levels

Avoid Processed Foods

Processed foods,while they might claim to be low-fat or low-sugar,don’t actually have nutritional content compared-to-unprocessed foods. Additives found in many processed foods act as simple sugars or stimulants driving-insulin-resistance leading-to-high-blood-sugar-levels along with-a-bevy of other health problems.

Some common unhealthy processed food options include but are not limited to Potato chips, sugary cereals,& munchies galore -even if they appear harmless initially!

Avoiding these helps regulate blood sugar levels while packing-nutrition you’ve been missing out-on!

Prioritize Your Carb Intake

Increasing your intake-of-carbs isn’t a good idea when trying-to lower high blood sugar! Even healthier carbohydrate sources-like whole-grain-breads which could contain up to 20grams-per-serving(yes those breakout pains are triggered by acts like this!)so it’s important finding carbs-in-food that offer minimum fallout& benefit:

  1. Fibrous vegetables =extraordinary nutrient density /high fiber
  2. Low Glycemic Index fruit(like avocados)&yogurt(low calorie/non fat)
  3. Navigating low glycemic index-zones is key & simple go for Cooked beans/lentils ,Brown rice/berries/popcorn(always dry-popped)- You don’t need to survive off watering down flavored water without any solid nutrition every time there-is-too-much-glucose-backup
    4.Eat Protein-rich meals anything from boiled eggs/chicken fillet

The above choices will help restore equilibrium within our body and maintain healthy glucose levels.

Better Sleep=Better Lifestyle

Poor sleep may do more than leave us feeling groggy the next morning; research suggests lack-of-proper-rest has-direct correlation-with-elevated-glucose-levels
Without enough rest our bodies tend to up-regulate hormones that affect blood sugar,leading to more erratic levels.

Sounds simple? It can be as easy-as prioritizing non-negotiable scheduled sleeping hours& shying – away from prolonged usage of screen time before bed

Don’t Skip Meals

Skipping meals always seemed-like-a smart move but turns out skipping might activate an abundance sensor within brain-causing insulin-resistance&sending glucose levels skyrocketing!
Keeping-up the frequency of small-nourishing-meals never hurts further in cash savings too!

You could consider snacking on a handful of raw nuts or cut vegetable sticks Lest you pass-out mid work-day

Lastly

Incorporating physical activity into your daily routine is one strategy which has been proven beneficial not only for optimal healthcare management but also helps maintain healthy glucose levels. Incorporate exercises like walking (10-15 minutes-after each meal), cycling (~45 mins per day) and yoga (preferably under instruction for correct posture-compliance-guidance if new).

It’s important-not-to-lose sight-of-long-term specific lifestyle choices while seeking quick-fixes. Making healthier decisions even with-the-slightest change will-help achieve long term improvements

The bottom line:
Maintaining optimal-body-health requires diligence and control over eating habits; it’s essential keeping-a-track on-medications-and necessary-lifestyle-changes-that-work-best-for-you!
