Balancing Your Blood Sugars

Are Your Blood Sugars Balanced?

Effective regulation of blood glucose has important implications for health, and even a mild disruption of glucose homeostasis can result in a plethora of unwanted health issues.

Maintaining healthy blood sugar levels can be complex and unyielding. While most everyone has heard of diabetes, many people don’t understand the role of insulin and why it’s important to keep insulin levels balanced within the body.

Prediabetes, a serious health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal (but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes), affects approximately 88 million American adults.

That’s more than one in every three people!

Fortunately, prediabetes is a condition that can be reversed with proper diet and supplementation, and that’s in part why we’ve created our Balancing Your Blood Sugars Email Series. Together, we’ll explore strategies for keeping blood sugar levels balanced and introduce you to some of our favorite supplements from Biotics Research.

We Have A Sugar Problem!

Our sweet tooth is more demanding than ever. As a result, food companies add a lot of refined sugar to our foods to make them more palatable. Unless you are eating food in its natural state, odds are you are consuming some kind of added sugar, and likely more than you think. The average American eats about 150 pounds of added sugar each year. Just flip a food product over and look at the label. Chances are you’ll see some variation of processed sugar, such as high fructose corn syrup.

Refined sugars are associated with numerous chronic health ailments including, but certainly not limited to, cardiovascular disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Cognitive decline is also linked to high sugar intake. So the excess sugar is not only hurting our waistlines, but also our brains.

Our goal for this resource is to provide participants with information, guidance, and support. If you’re interested in gaining confidence in knowledge for how your body works and want to create a wellness plan that works for you, don’t miss out on our Balancing Your Blood Sugars Email Series.
