Start the day with protein
Supplementing protein in breakfast helps slow down the digestion process, maintain energy longer and contributes to stabilizing blood sugar throughout the day. Healthy choices for breakfast are eggs combined with vegetables, yogurt eaten with nuts, beans served with whole grains.
Building a balanced meal
Foods high in starch easily cause sudden spikes in blood sugar. Combining starch with protein, healthy fats and fiber helps glucose be absorbed into the blood more slowly and stably.
A balanced meal usually includes carbohydrates that provide energy, protein that slows down the sugar release, healthy fats that help feel full longer, and fiber that helps reduce sugar absorption.
Eat regularly instead of skipping meals
Skipping meals is a common cause of blood sugar fluctuations, often leading to hypoglycemia and eating too much at the end of the day. Eating regularly helps maintain stable blood sugar, reduce intense hunger and support effective energy control throughout the day.
Choose protein-rich snacks between meals
Eating cookies or sweets between meals easily causes sudden spikes in blood sugar. Conversely, protein-rich snacks help provide stable energy and limit sudden hunger. Suitable snack choices include nuts or nuts, yogurt, boiled eggs and grilled beans.
Increase fiber in each meal
Fiber helps slow down the process of sugar absorption into the blood, limit sudden increases in blood sugar after meals, and prolong feelings of fullness. Foods rich in natural fiber include vegetables, peeled fruits, beans, and whole grains.
Choosing sugar-free drinks
Sugary drinks are one of the reasons why blood sugar increases fastest because they contain a lot of easily absorbed sugar but have little nutritional value.
