Is your blood sugar too high?



What do you do after the doctor says you have Diabetes type 2 ? Do you take a pill for the rest of your life? Too many people have this problem and it is getting worse!! Ever ask yourself why? So what causes high blood sugar? 

I have the answer your looking for but you may not like it :/

I'm going to give it to you straight ...You caused your high blood sugar! It all boils down to how you eat and after a while your body cannot break down sugar correctly. Now this process took years of malnutrition, eating the wrong foods and choosing convenience over health.
 
Please read my other blog postings where I go into details on proper digestion, food combining and organic foods choices but today I will give you natural ways to help this problem, balance out your body and blood sugar levels.

Number is the most important rule - stop eating foods that turn into sugar;
  
GRAIN PRODUCTS
  • Breads (all breads)
  • Rice
  • Pasta
Breakfast Cereals (almost all)
Crackers and Chips (almost all)
Other Breakfast Foods
  • Croissant
  • Cupcake
  • Doughnut
  • Muffins
  • Oatmeal muffin
  • Pancakes
  • Pop Tarts™
  • Waffles
Cakes
Fruit Products
  • Processed fruit bars, fruit wraps…
SUGAR AND SUGAR SNACKS
  • Most sugary snacks
  • Candy Bars
  • Glucose 
  • Honey
  • Jelly beans
  • Sucrose 
  • Syrup
DRINKS
  • All fruit juices
  • All sodas
  • Most sport drinks 
I know what your thinking! What can I eat?? I know it sounds overwhelming. I promise it isn't as hard as you imagine...Most of the foods on this list are man-made , processed and toxic to the body anyway. I'm not saying that you can never eat them again but what I am telling you is too choose wisely...choose natural foods, fresh veggies and delicious fruits (non-starchy). I don't have Diabetes but I follow these rules because I feel good, I look younger than my age and I have energy to do the things I love.





SUPPLEMENTS THAT NATURALLY BALANCE OUT YOUR BLOOD SUGAR!

Gymnema is a woody climbing shrub native to India and Africa. The leaves are used to make medicine. Gymnema has a long history of use in India’s Ayurvedic medicine. The Hindi name, gurmar, means "destroyer of sugar."

Magnesium  People with diabetes tend to have lower magnesium levels, especially if the disease is not well controlled or has been uncontrolled for a long period of time.
It is thought that when the blood glucose levels go very high the kidneys lose their ability to retain magnesium, leading to excess excretion of magnesium in the urine.

Bitter Melon Bitter melon is used for various stomach and intestinal disorders including gastrointestinal (GI) upset, ulcers, colitis, constipation, and intestinal worms. It is also used for diabetes, kidney stones, fever, and a skin condition called psoriasis. Bitter melon contains a chemical that acts like insulin to help reduce blood sugar levels.

Chromium This trace mineral is thought to enhance the action of insulin as well as being involved in carbohydrate, fat, energy levels and protein metabolism.

Ginseng is known for its immune-boosting and disease-fighting benefits, this Chinese herb has several positive diabetes studies behind it. Re­searchers have found that ginseng slows carbohydrate absorption; increases cells’ ability to use glucose; and increases insulin secretion from the pancreas.

All of these supplements can be found in your local health food store<3 

One of my favorite products is from Dr. Vanessa's Sugar Balance because I know it works. I help many customers but this man came in and needed help in finding the right product with most of the ingredients in it to lower blood sugar naturally because he didn't want to take a bunch of pills. He was tired of take the drugs because of all the side effects so I suggested this product. A month later he came back to the store and gave me a hug:) "It worked" he said. He admitted to me that he didn't think I would be able to help him. I showed him my nerdy skills ;p

That is all for now! If you want more info feel free to comment or send your questions!
