1. Drink a glass of warm water
Providing enough water for the body is one of the simplest ways to control blood sugar levels. Drinking warm water in the morning can help the body stay hydrated after a long night, support blood circulation and improve metabolism. This also helps the body maintain stable blood sugar levels.
When blood sugar is high, it can make you urinate more, which can make you more dehydrated.
So start your day with a glass of warm water and then provide enough water for your body throughout the day. As many studies have shown, we should drink an average of 1.5 - 2 liters of water per day.
2. Say no to coffee
Many people have the habit of drinking coffee every morning. However, coffee can cause blood sugar levels to spike, especially in the morning. Although black coffee does not cause a significant change in blood sugar levels, few people drink pure black coffee but often add sugar/ Milk - the main cause of increased blood sugar levels.
If you are addicted to coffee, you can drink it during the day with the most limited conditions possible, along with the amount of sugar/ Milk you drink.
3. Eat a balanced breakfast
Eating a breakfast rich in protein and fiber within an hour of waking up can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
When you skip breakfast, your body does not get the necessary energy and is forced to secrete stored glucose into your blood to maintain blood sugar levels. This triggers a spike in blood glucose. On the contrary, eating a breakfast high in carbohydrates will also lead to a rapid increase in blood glucose levels.
Therefore, experts recommend that breakfast include three important ingredients: protein, healthy fats and fiber. For example, whole-wheat noodles with egg/ easy-to-make lettuce and avocado or a glass of Greek yogurt with nutrient-rich nuts.
