One of the big keys to optimal health is to have balanced blood sugar. But what happens when you eat a donut? Your pancreas releases insulin, which tells your body there is plenty of energy so now is the time to store fat.
But here’s the thing. It doesn’t matter whether you eat a donut or drink a glass of orange juice. Low-fiber processed carbohydrates from crackers to chips to cookies to juice all have a similar effect on blood sugar.
When you take in a lot of carbs too quickly — without much fiber or fat to slow down absorption — you could experience what we call a “sugar crash,” which leads to low energy, brain fog, and weight gain.
And due to the addictive nature of sugar and carbs, once your body brings your blood sugar levels back down, that’s when the cravings kick in! And if you give in to those cravings, it starts the cycle all over again.
So I hope you can see how important it is to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. The question is, how do you do it?
Well, one way is to reduce your intake of processed carbohydrates and make sure you eat fat, protein, fiber, and greens at most meals.
But no one is perfect. We all cheat sometimes. So it just makes sense to have a way to maintain healthy blood sugar day in, day out, even if you have an “off” day.
That’s why I recommend a product called Blood Sugar Breakthrough by BiOptimizers. This easy to take supplement is the result of numerous tests to find the absolute best formula for maintaining healthy blood sugar. In fact, BiOptimizers went through 5 different formulations before landing on this one.
Blood Sugar Breakthrough works to safely lower blood sugar after meals so that you can maintain a healthy weight and redirect carbs to your muscles where they can be burned for energy. This means you’ll avoid the worst effects of high blood sugar — like weight gain — while enjoying more stable energy, mental clarity, and fewer cravings.
