Walk after dinner
Walking for 10-15 minutes after dinner helps muscles use glucose more effectively. When muscles contract during exercise, they will absorb glucose from the blood, contributing to lowering blood sugar after meals.
Eat in reasonable order
A meal to help control blood sugar should start with non-starchy vegetables, followed by lean protein and healthy fats, then fiber-rich carbohydrates. This eating method helps slow down digestion and limit rapid blood sugar spikes after meals. If using dessert, you should eat it immediately after main meals and combine it with protein-rich foods.
Avoid eating late at night
You should avoid eating within about 2 hours before going to bed to support the blood sugar regulation process and help the digestive system work more effectively throughout the night.
Control stress
Prolonged stress can increase the hormone cortisol, thereby affecting blood sugar levels. Practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or daily stress-reducing exercises can help support blood sugar control.
