1.Eat foods rich in chromium and magnesium
Hyperglycemia, or diabetes, actually has another name called "trace element deficiency."
In 2004, a study by the University of Louisiana stated that whether it was an animal or human experiment, there was a large amount of literature showing that "chromium is an indispensable element of insulin." Diabetic patients, especially those with cardiovascular diseases, have insufficient blood chromium content. of.
Magnesium is also a very important trace element. It can stimulate insulin secretion, making it easier for cells to absorb nutrients, thereby lowering blood sugar. The Department of Internal Medicine and Medicine of the University of Palermo, Italy, in a 2015 study showed that as long as the magnesium content in the blood or the cells increases, the sensitivity of insulin will increase.
Foods rich in chromium: egg yolks, whole grains, coffee, nuts, mung beans, broccoli.
Foods are rich in magnesium: dark green vegetables, whole grains, fish, bananas, avocados, beans.
2.Try apple cider vinegar
In 2010, Arizona State University found that vinegar significantly affects the body’s response to sugar and improves insulin sensitivity. Two teaspoons of vinegar can effectively reduce blood sugar levels after meals. And compared with 5 hours before the meal, drinking vinegar during the meal will make the effect the most obvious.
But when eating "monosaccharides", that is, easy-to-digest glucose, vinegar has no such effect. The research team believes that this means that "vinegar" can improve blood sugar because it can help digest carbohydrates.
Just 2 teaspoons of vinegar (10 grams) a day, and drink it with meals.
3.Eat more cinnamon
Cinnamon actually has a similar effect to insulin but at a much slower rate. It can slow down the breakdown of carbohydrates, thereby slowing the increase in blood sugar after a meal. In a German study in 2006, it was also found that cinnamon can help lower blood sugar levels. The cinnamon group reduced the blood glucose level by 10.3%, which was significantly lower than the placebo group (3.4%).
1 to 6 grams of cinnamon powder per day is the best, about 1.5 teaspoons.
4.Control pressure
When facing stress, the body releases adrenaline, cortisol, and other stress hormones. These hormones stimulate the secretion of insulin and turn sugar into energy, making us energetic to face different pressures and work; but if Being under high pressure all the time, keeping insulin secreted, the body will eventually become "flexible fatigue", causing insulin resistance.
In 2018, a study by the Isfahan Medical University in Iran recruited 230 (179 women and 51 men) patients with type 2 diabetes and divided them into 2 groups. In the beginning, their glycosylated hemoglobin was 8.52±1. And 8.42±1.2, the difference is not big. The research team performed "relief treatment" on one group. After a total of 8 times of "relief treatment" for one month, they found that their glycosylated hemoglobin dropped to 6.1, which has returned to normal.
Laughing can help lower blood sugar.
5.Adequate sleep
The body is normal. At 7 or 8 in the morning, stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol secrete the most and secrete the least at night, which coincides with our rest and mealtime, so the blood sugar of the day is stable. But if you don't have enough sleep, your body will stimulate the secretion of adrenaline and cortisol at night, causing high blood sugar in the middle of the night, so your blood sugar will be very high when you wake up in the morning, and if you eat food again, your blood sugar will be out of control.
