Smooth Sailing Tips

1. Eat Balanced Meals

Pair carbohydrates with proteins and healthy fats. For instance, instead of just a bagel, add some avocado or eggs. The combination slows the rate at which sugar enters your bloodstream, keeping your levels stable.

2. Snack Smart

Replace candy or chips with nuts, yogurt, or fruit. These snacks will help you feel full but will not make your blood sugar go on a rollercoaster.

3. Stay Active

Just a short walk after meals will help your body use up extra glucose. You do not have to head to the gym-just moving a little bit more during each day will make the difference.

4. Stay Hydrated

Water helps your kidneys to get rid of extra glucose. Besides, being well-hydrated keeps everything running more smoothly.

5. Pay Attention

Pay attention to how different foods or activities make you feel. everybody's body is different, so what works for someone else may not work for you.

No Need to Stress

It's all about balance, not perfection. If you indulge in a high-sugar snack or miss that workout, just let it go. What you do most of the time is what counts. Little patterns of behavior can yield a positive direction in life without really having to overthink it.

By keeping it simple and paying attention to your body, you can master blood sugar and feel great while you're at it!
