Lowering Blood Sugar by Diet

Lowering blood sugar levels is crucial to having great health and will help you to avoid complications such a diabetes.   Even though there are lots of different ways to manage blood sugar levels, one popular way of doing so is to lower blood sugar by diet.  

So here are my top 2 favourite ways of doing this:

1) Eat small amounts of food frequently throughout the day: This is a great tip that will keep your blood sugar even, for it is much easier for the body to digest food this way.  My nutritionist had actually recommended that I eat every 2-3 hours.

2) Increase your water intake: This is something that I learned very recently, and it really surprised me!  The simplest way that I can describe this comes from Yahoo Answers (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080303060316AAJRamt)

Imagine that your bloodstream is a cup half full of water.

Say you eat a candy bar (or, even something healthy -- an apple). Each time you eat something, you're putting sugar in that cup of water.
When you drink water, it increases the volume of your blood stream... so, it's like you're adding more water to that cup of water... and the more water you add to that cup of water, the less sugar you'll find in each drop. 


I hope that these tips help you to lower your blood sugar by diet.
