Simple lifestyle changes can rapidly lower blood sugar, experts say

DDM News

Amid rising global diabetes rates, new health insights reveal that simple lifestyle changes may be the most effective way to quickly lower blood sugar levels.

According to a recent report published by Daily Health Post, individuals living with prediabetes or diabetes can significantly improve their condition by enhancing insulin sensitivity, a process that allows the body to use insulin more effectively to regulate blood sugar.

Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) notes that over 530 million people globally are living with diabetes, with the World Health Organization warning that the number could rise by 46% in the next two decades if urgent preventive measures are not taken.

One of the most critical steps toward better management, according to medical experts, is improving the body’s response to insulin.

Insulin is the hormone responsible for helping cells absorb glucose from the bloodstream.

When the body becomes resistant to insulin, blood sugar levels remain high, increasing the risk of serious complications such as kidney damage, vision loss, and cardiovascular disease.

The article highlights seven science-backed strategies to naturally reduce insulin resistance and lower blood sugar.

These include getting adequate sleep, managing stress, engaging in regular physical activity, increasing dietary fiber, reducing refined carbohydrates, adding beneficial spices, and maintaining a healthy weight.

Health professionals emphasize that sleep deprivation can worsen insulin resistance, while chronic stress leads to the release of hormones like cortisol that elevate blood sugar.

Regular physical activity, including simple walking after meals, has been proven to significantly lower glucose levels.

Additionally, dietary changes such as eating more fiber-rich foods, like vegetables, fruits with skin, legumes, and whole grains, can stabilize blood sugar by slowing down glucose absorption.

Natural spices such as cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, and garlic have also shown benefits in improving insulin sensitivity.

Experts conclude that these low-cost, practical interventions can empower individuals to better manage or even reverse early-stage diabetes without immediate reliance on medication.

As global health organizations continue to sound the alarm on the diabetes epidemic, these tips offer an accessible pathway for millions seeking to improve their health outcomes.
