Nowadays, everyone is worried about sugar levels. I myself have gone through this problem a few years ago. Sometimes, due to the hustle and bustle of work and home, I did not pay attention to my diet. This affected my energy, mood and health. That’s when I decided that now I have to make a change. In this blog, I am sharing my experience and ways to control sugar through natural remedies .
Why is sugar control important?
The increase or decrease in blood sugar affects our entire body.
- Consistently high sugar levels increase the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure.
- Eyesight may be affected.
- Fatigue, sleep problems and mood swings start occurring.
I realized that when my sugar was uncontrolled, I used to feel tired all day long and my mood also kept changing. This was the reason why I decided to change my lifestyle.
Diet changes
Stay away from junk food and sweet drinks
The first step to control sugar was to reduce junk food and sweet drinks. I gradually stopped cold drinks and packaged snacks. This helped me feel stable energy throughout the day.
Fiber-rich diet
Fiber raises blood sugar slowly. Include it in your diet:
- Whole grains: brown rice, oats, quinoa
- Fruits: apples, pears, berries
- Vegetables: spinach, broccoli, bell peppers
I eat oats in the morning and my blood sugar stays stable throughout the day.
The importance of protein
Protein also keeps blood sugar under control.
- Eggs, cheese, yogurt
- Chicken, fish
- Soy and Tempeh
I noticed that by having a protein-rich breakfast, hunger stays under control for a longer period and sugar does not increase suddenly.
Natural sweeteners to replace sugar
- Stevia
- Honey (in small amounts)
- Coconut Sugar
I put stevia in my tea. It adds flavor and keeps the sugar stable.
Regular exercise
Exercise is the most effective way to control sugar.
- Walking/jogging : 30–40 minutes in the morning
- Yoga and Pranayama : Reduces stress and keeps blood sugar under control
- Light strength training : Building muscle increases insulin sensitivity
I’ve found that walking and yoga helps keep my blood sugar stable throughout the day and also increases my energy.
Reduce stress
Stress hormones can increase blood sugar.
- Meditation or deep breathing
- Spend time in nature
- Spend time pursuing your hobbies (like painting or music)
When I paint or listen to music, both my sugar and mood remain under control.
Get enough sleep
Sleep deprivation affects insulin sensitivity.
- 7-8 hours of sleep is necessary
- If you sleep for 5-6 hours at night then sugar level increases the next day
I paid attention to my sleep and as a result it helped in sugar control.
Natural Supplements
Some natural remedies help control blood sugar:
- Cinnamon : Improves insulin efficiency
- Fenugreek seeds : Control blood sugar
- Aloe Vera Juice : Keeps digestion and sugar stable
- Turmeric : Anti-inflammatory and helps in reducing sugar
I slowly added these supplements to my diet and experienced my sugar levels remain stable.
Don’t forget to drink water
Drinking enough water helps keep blood sugar stable.
- 8–10 glasses of water a day
- I always keep a water bottle nearby so I can drink enough water without forgetting.
Regular blood sugar monitoring
Monitoring is necessary for sugar control.
- Check sugar in the morning and 2 hours after eating
- Keep records in a mobile app or diary
When I adopted this, I came to know which food is right for me and which is not.
Conclusion: It is not difficult to control sugar.
- The right diet
- regular exercise
- reducing stress
- get enough sleep
- Natural remedies
Small changes made consistently yield long term benefits. My experience proves that natural remedies can help control sugar and lead a healthy life.
