Tips to Help Normalize Blood Sugar Levels
Blood sugar level (also known as blood glucose level) is the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Glucose, transported via the bloodstream, is the primary source of energy for the body's cells. Normally, blood sugar levels stay within narrow limits throughout the day (4 to 8mmol/l). But they are higher after meals and usually lowest in the morning.
Maintaining healthy blood sugar levels can be challenging for some. The first step in sustaining normal blood sugar levels is to create a healthy eating plan. A proper diet will help you control blood sugar and will also help you maintain a healthy weight. Here are a few things you can start doing today to help normalize your blood sugar:
- Regular Meal Times: It is important to follow a routine of eating meals and snacks at regular times throughout the day.
- Portion Control: Try to eat the same amount of healthy, portion-controlled food at each meal time.
- Nutrient Rich Foods: On a daily basis, aim for 45-65 percent carbohydrates, 15-20 percent protein, and 20-25 percent fats. Choose fruits and vegetables in a range of bright, deep colors and stick with low-starch choices like broccoli and spinach. Avoid fats and excess sugars.
- Read Labels: Some foods hide behind false claims. Be sure to read the nutritional labels to ensure there is no "high-fructose corn syrup" in your food.
Making healthy food choices and tracking your eating habits can help you manage your blood glucose level and keep it within a safe range.
