Let’s see how to control blood sugar levels through natural methods:
1. Eat high-fiber foods (High Fiber Diet)
Eating foods rich in fiber slows down the absorption of sugar into the blood. Include plenty of oats, barley, leafy vegetables, whole grains, and legumes in your diet.
2. Use of fenugreek
Fenugreek is one of the most effective foods for reducing diabetes. The fiber and chemical components contained in it help increase insulin production.
How to use: Soak a spoon of fenugreek in water the day before. Drink this water on an empty stomach in the morning and chew the fenugreek.
3. Cinnamon
Cinnamon helps increase insulin sensitivity. This is effective in reducing blood glucose levels.
How to use: Add a small amount of cinnamon powder to your daily tea or food.
4. Regular exercise
At least 30 minutes of brisk walking every day will help the body’s cells use insulin properly. This helps in reducing excess weight and controlling sugar levels.
5. Drink plenty of water
Keeping the body hydrated will help the kidneys excrete excess sugar through urine. Avoid sugary drinks and make it a habit to drink pure water.
6. Reduce stress, sleep well
When mental stress increases, the hormones produced in the body increase sugar levels. Make sure you get 7-8 hours of sleep every day.
Foods to avoid:
Flour dishes (porota, white bread, etc.).
Sugar and artificial sweeteners.
Foods fried and deep-fried in oil.
Packaged juices and soft drinks
