Jakarta – There are many sweet snacks out there that are favored by young people. Each sweet food contains a different amount of sugar, which of course we as consumers do not know how much sugar is in the food.
Sweet foods are delicious if consumed within normal limits. Consumption of foods that contain sugar and consumed every day will trigger problems in the body. The level of sugar in the blood is called glucose. If glucose levels are getting higher, you have to be careful, especially people with diabetes diabetes.
Not only should people be wary of diabetes, people have attacks heart, quite often under severe stress, have pancreatic disorders, have a fairly severe infection, or have had a stroke can also experience it.
In addition to consuming sweet foods, consuming too many carbohydrates can be a trigger. Blood sugar rises when insulin levels are low. Watch out for the following symptoms:
Feeling dehydrated and having to drink constantly, accompanied by a dry mouth, frequent trips to the bathroom to urinate, especially at night, increased appetite but weight loss, skin feels itchy and dry, feels sleepy and tired easily, vision becomes slightly blurry, headaches, difficulty concentrating, tingling, easy infection, and abdominal pain.
If you often experience the above, it means that the body is giving a signal that something is wrong. If not treated immediately, these symptoms can become increasingly uncontrollable and result in bad health.
To avoid these things, from now on you have to pay attention to your diet and reduce sugary foods. Here are tips to control blood sugar levels.
Healthy eating pattern
Change the important mindset of being full from now on. Choose organic food ingredients that are safer for consumption that contain fiber and protein. Such as vegetables, fish, nuts, garlic or whole grains.
Sport
This activity is often overlooked by people, even though there are many benefits in exercising. Exercise can be done in an easy way such as walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling. At first it was hard, but if you are consistent you will form new healthy habits.
Regular exercise is able to contract muscles so that cells can grow, get stimulated to use insulin, and process glucose as an energy source. This will offset the healthy eating pattern that has been applied.
Don’t stress
Stress is sometimes unavoidable or even unconscious. Stress is a problem that must be resolved immediately so as not to interfere with health. Because, when you experience severe stress and are difficult to control, blood sugar which is difficult to control increasingly erodes the body. To reduce stress, get enough rest to relax the mind.
Drink white water
Drinking water is indeed a lot of people underestimated. Even though this simple thing has a big impact on the health of the body. If you regularly drink water, blood sugar levels will decrease, especially in diabetics. In addition, water also helps kidney function remove blood sugar through urine. Make sure you also reduce your soft drinks.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle it all depends on yourself. Maintaining health is important, especially maintaining blood sugar levels. Do not let the condition underestimate when the pain is not severe, even make more serious complications. That is when the body is unable to process blood sugar anymore because the insulin in the body has been reduced.[]
