November 21, 2003, Newsletter Issue #16: How to Control Blood Sugar on a Daily Basis

Tip of the Week

So, now you ask.. How can I maintain proper blood
sugar levels on a daily basis?

Well, here it goes...

***Eat more complex carbohydrates such as whole-wheat
or whole-rye bread and pasta, brown rice, rolled oats,
beans, and whole-grain cereal. Why? Because complex
carbohydrates release of energy slowly because it takes
time for them to be digested. This helps maintain
balanced blood sugar levels.

***Eat foods high in protein such as meat, fish, eggs,
soy, beans, nuts, and cheese. Protein helps maintain
blood sugar levels and supplies energy.

***Drink at least eight 8-oz glasses of water each day
to balance your blood sugar levels. Water flushes any
excess sugar from your body.

***DON`T skip meals. Skipped meals causes your blood
sugar levels to drop, increasing your sweet cravings,
which in turn quickly raises blood sugar once sweets
are consumed.

***Eat fruit instead of drinking juice, as juice usually
contains added sugar. The fiber in fruit slows the
digestion rate, which helps keep blood sugar in balance.

***Avoid or limit caffeine consumption. Caffeine can
make blood sugar levels fluctuate.

***Take a vitamin and mineral supplements, especially
those high in antioxidants such as vitamins, A, B, C, & E.
Even though you might think you eat healthily, it is
very hard to consume all the vitamins and antioxidants
that we need to stay healthy.

***Reduce refined sugar as found in ice cream, cakes,
cookies, soda and candy. Read food labels for sugar
content and hidden sugars.
