Doctor Yulia Yusipova: you can manage your blood sugar levels without medications, fairly simple methods help with this.
Doctor Yusipova named ways to lower sugar without using medications. One of these methods, she noted, is maintaining sleep hygiene, the ability to sleep enough.
“The increase in blood sugar levels is associated with how we slept at night. Good quality sleep is an essential guarantee of a healthy lifestyle. Scientists have proven that poor sleep is expressed in peaks in glucose growth,” the doctor said.
Another way to lower blood sugar levels without medication is to increase your physical activity. Yusipova emphasized that constant active movement is necessary to lower glucose. The doctor explained that when moving, glucose is spent on muscle work, and as a result, its level decreases. In particular, the doctor advises walking more.
“If a person walks a lot, then the sensor on him in the absolute majority of cases will show a lower glucose level than if he sits on his soft sofa.”
Another accessible method for controlling sugar levels is a well-structured diet. In your diet, you need to choose foods with a low glycemic index (eat more vegetables, legumes and greens), eat less high-carbohydrate and starchy foods, and ideally, completely give up fast food.
If there are no contraindications, you can use apple cider vinegar.
“Apple cider vinegar boasts an antiglycemic effect. After a meal, blood sugar levels can be reduced by two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar diluted in lukewarm water, which are consumed with meals,” the specialist shared.
Yusipova drew attention to the fact that an increase in sugar levels is often a consequence of stress and increased production of cortisol. Therefore, it is important to develop your stress resistance, if necessary, seek help from psychologists, especially since free hotlines are available today, writes Doctor Peter.
