Fight diabetes with real foods and exercise – The Daily Nonpareil

August 30th, 2020 7:55 pm

Become a scientist of yourself by studying how foods affect your blood sugars. There are charts that can help you figure out the sugar toxicity, like the Glycemic Index. Also, take into consideration the glycemic load of foods. The Glycemic Index gives specific foods a 0-100 rating on how much it will make blood sugar rise. The higher the number, the more potent the food will be to your blood sugar.

Glycemic load will take the information of the Glycemic Index and add the amount of grams you will be eating, then divide it by the amount of portions you consume. This isnt a perfect system. Everyone processes food differently. In other words, what works for one person may not work for another. Discover for yourself how each meal affects you and start dialing in what foods are beneficial and which ones you should avoid in general.

Increase the amount of exercise you are doing daily. The more muscle mass you have the more sugar you will burn off. Exercise decreases insulin resistance and helps with the overall regulation of sugar throughout the body. When you use your muscles it creates an insulin-like effect, which reduces the need for insulin in general.

This is a very good thing for those with diabetes, because insulin is the problem. If insulin can be bypassed all together, why wouldnt you move more? When you increase your exercise, you will want to continue to monitor your sugar levels and make sure to have a diabetic-friendly snack available if levels get too low.
