She Didn’t Have to Make Dramatic Changes
ShutterstockShe adds that she didn’t have to alter her approach to eating dramatically. “Simple changes really helped me avoid massive glucose spikes (and crashes). You don’t want extra glucose in your body!!” she says.
She Eats Balanced Blood Sugar Meals and Eats Veggies First
Shutterstock“When I keep my energy levels high & sugar cravings low, the whole day gets easier,” she says. She then reveals a few of her “go-to ways to avoid a massive spike,” starting with eating balanced blood sugar meals. She also has an order of eating. “Eating vegetables FIRST before moving on to other foods in the meal” is the best way to go, she says.
She Exercises After Eating
ShutterstockAnother way she avoids a massive spike is by exercising shortly after eating. It doesn’t have to be an intense workout. “Walking or moving my body around the 30 minute mark after finishing a meal,” she says.
Hydrate
ShutterstockShe also makes sure to hydrate, adding ACV to her water. “Drinking a glass of water with 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before larger meals,” she says. There is limited research that ACV may help to reduce high cholesterol and regulate blood glucose levels. However, it may damage the teeth or throat due to the acidity of the mixture. The best way to take it is by mixing one tbsp of ACV with water and drinking it through a straw.
