Balance Your Blood Sugar Naturally
Balanced blood sugar is a key in your energy levels, weight loss and your overall health. Balancing your blood sugar applies to everyone, not just people with diabetes.
What is Blood Sugar?
Blood glucose (sugar) is the amount of glucose in your blood at a given time.
What is Blood Sugar Level?
Blood sugar level is the amount of glucose from what you are eating. It circulates in your bloodstream to provide immediate energy to cells or stored and used later.
Why Have a Balanced Blood Sugar Level
A balanced blood sugar level is key to your well-being. It regulate your hormones, triggers your body to burn stored fat, and increases your metabolism to help you lose weight.
Too much glucose:
You will have high blood-sugar levels. Your body can’t break it down and stores it as fat.
Too little glucose:
You will have low blood sugar levels. Your body goes into “starvation mode” and it begins to burn your lean muscle instead of the fat. Also, not getting enough sugar can also lead to adding on extra pounds!
How Will Checking Your Blood Sugar Levels Help?
- Provide a measurement of your blood sugar
- Determine if you have a high or low blood sugar
- Show you how your lifestyle affects your blood sugar levels
