Blood Sugar Stabilizing Foods

We have all felt that crash. Maybe its 3PM in the middle of the work day or you forgot to eat for too many hours. Maybe you only had fruit or coffee or sugar and all of a sudden it hits you. You feel angry, irritable, dizzy, short tempered. Sound familiar?

Managing blood sugar levels are important in maintaining energy, improving mood, reducing fatigue, improved brain and cardiovascular health, as well as helping with satiety - and keeping you fuller for longer.

Here’s a simple way to ensure you are balancing your plate to manage blood sugar levels. Try to choose one from each section: 🥦➕🍚➕🥑➕🍗🟰 a happy balanced and stable plate and body.

Choose a non starchy vegetable: carrots, broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, cucumbers, spinach, dark leafy greens, etc.

Then add in whole grains or high fiber grain like high fiber crackers, brown rice, quinoa, whole grain breads or wraps.

Healthy fats like avocado, coconut, nuts, seeds, and olive oil.

And last but certainly not least your protein which can come in the form of fatty fish, chicken, beef, or turkey. Plant based options are beans, lentils, and tofu.
