Regardless of your current health, everyone can benefit from knowing how to maintain healthy blood sugar from diet and lifestyle.

Reducing the overall amount of sugar in our diet is crucial to our health, but what about balancing our blood sugars as a whole?

Avoid artificial sweeteners at all cost.
Choose natural sweeteners with lower glycemic index such as coconut sugar and maple syrup.

Enjoy plant based healthy fats
healthy fats from nuts, seeds, avocados, coconut oil, take longer to digest which helps our body slow the absorption of sugars found in carbohydrates. Fats help our body to maintain nice, steady insulin levels.

Bulk up on fiber. Fiber, like healthy fats, takes longer to digest which helps our body slowly absorb sugars found in the carbohydrates that we consume. Enjoy plant based whole foods such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and legumes.

Move your body.  Regular exercise drastically improves the way our body responds to sugar, by helping improve insulin resistance, especially in those of us with diabetes or blood sugar issues.
