Thái Anh (Theo Livestrong) |

Seemingly simple habits help stabilize blood sugar effectively.

1. Exercise

Regular exercise can help us control our weight and blood sugar effectively.

If you have problems with blood sugar, consider checking your sugar levels regularly before and after exercise. This will help you know how your body reacts to different activities and keep your blood sugar from getting too high or too low.

Some recommended exercises include light walking or simple physical exercises, such as squats or leg raises.

2. Management of carbohydrate intake

The amount of carbohydrates you take in has a strong impact on your blood sugar levels. Our bodies break down carbohydrates into sugar, mainly glucose. Insulin then helps the body use and store glucose for energy.

When you consume too many carbohydrates or have problems with insulin function, your blood sugar can increase. Therefore, people with diabetes should control their carbohydrate intake by counting and knowing how many carbohydrates are needed for daily activities.

A low-carb diet helps stabilize blood sugar and prevent sugar spikes.

3. Eat more fiber

Fiber slows down the digestion of carbohydrates and absorption of sugar, helping to stabilize blood sugar effectively.

A diet high in fiber can improve the ability to regulate sugar levels, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels. Foods rich in fiber include: vegetables; fruits; beans; whole grains...

4. Drink enough water

Drinking enough water can help keep blood sugar levels within a healthy range. In addition, drinking enough water also helps you eliminate excess sugar through urine.

In addition, drinking water regularly can rehydrate the blood, reduce blood sugar levels and help reduce the risk of diabetes.

However, avoid sugary options as they can increase blood sugar levels, cause weight gain and increase the risk of diabetes.
