Blood Sugar Control
When blood sugar gets too high, the body has to either convert the excess sugar to energy or to store it as fat.
Every single sugar, whether from vegetables, soda, bread, etc. eventually ends up as glucose. Problems occur when blood glucose levels fluctuate too much and get too high, which can happen when you consume sugar too often, too much sugar, or just feed too often regardless of the sugar source.
Some ways of regulating blood sugar:
- Aerobic exercise before eating in the morning - "This study for the first time shows that fasted training is more potent than fed training to facilitate adaptations in muscle and to improve whole-body glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity during hyper-caloric fat-rich diet." [1]
- Strength training. It improves the ability of your body to drive glucose into muscle tissue [2]
- A 30 minute walk post-meal. One study showed that this lowers serum fat levels by 18% [3]
- Standing. Those who stood for 180 minute post-eating had 43% lowered blood glucose levels vs those who sat for the same amount of time. [4]
