| Five simple tips for controlling your blood sugar levels in the winter |
Winter fatigue disrupts their normal routine and presents challenges. "By understanding your health status and applying basic safety precautions, you can maintain alarming blood sugar levels," said Aarti Gill, founder and CEO of OZiva.
The expert recommends the following diabetes control measures this winter; read on.
Fresh, plant-based food options
According to Gill, as the body adapts to cold temperatures, it is only natural to crave more and more food. Maintaining a healthy diet is the key to controlling your diabetes this season. “You can replace your drink of boiling chocolate into green tea, that satisfies dinner with boiling vegetable soup. The trick is to find other healthy ways in your comfortable diet. New research suggests that people who eat vegetarian foods may reduce their risk of developing diabetes. Avoid fried foods, sugary packed drinks, and sweet-smelling drinks, ”he said.
Partial control
Macronutrients that provide energy to your body include carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
“Carbohydrates, in particular, have a profound effect on blood sugar because they are broken down into sugars or sugars and absorbed into the bloodstream. Although they are important for normal body functions, one needs to make sure that they are using the correct amounts of these macronutrients. Indian vegetables are often high in carbohydrates, ”says Gill.
Stay busy
Any type of exercise is a good way to control your body's healthy insulin level. Moderate exercise for even 15 minutes can affect your glucose level and improve your mood. A short walk or yoga - morning or evening - can set the tone for a healthy lifestyle even in the cold.
Pressure control
Depression alone does not cause diabetes, but research published by the International Society of Psychoneuroendocrinology suggests a link between major depression and type 2 diabetes.
“Increased blood pressure leads to a higher production of cortisol which pushes the body to produce more glucose, which in turn can lower blood sugar levels. Controlling stress with light exercise, yoga, meditation or reading is beneficial for diabetic conditions. ”
Check your blood sugar level
Gill concluded that any climate change could affect the body's ability to produce insulin. “It is common to starve in winter as the body uses a lot of energy to keep us warm. It is recommended that you eat nutritious foods rather than processed foods that are prepared quickly. Follow your eating habits by regularly monitoring your blood sugar levels. ”
