High-Intensity Interval Training Tip

Do short bouts of high-intensity interval training like burpees or plyometrics with lots of rest to quickly lower blood sugar.
This rapidly depletes excess sugar in the blood by using muscle contraction.

ADVICE

Apple Cider Vinegar Benefits

Combine one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with 8 ounces of water and drink after a high-carb meal.
It slows down blood sugar spikes and helps glucose absorption into muscles.

ADVICE

Supplements for Blood Sugar Control

Use berberine as a natural metformin substitute without side effects to help blood sugar.
Pair it with NAC or alpha lipoic acid and supplement vitamin B1 after cheat meals to support blood sugar regulation.

1. High-intensity interval training (HIIT)Just a few minutes of high-intensity exercise with lots of rest can quickly deplete excess sugar in your blood. Try doing exercises such as burpees, plyometrics, or a spin bike.

2. Apple cider vinegarApple cider vinegar contains acetic acid, which can slow down a blood sugar spike after consuming sugar. Combine one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with 8 ounces of water and drink this after a high-carb meal.

3. Berberine, NAC, and other supplementsBerberine is considered a natural Metformin without the side effects. You can pair berberine with NAC or alpha lipoic acid for more natural blood sugar support. Excess carbs deplete vitamin B1, so if you have a cheat meal or fall off the wagon with carbohydrates, increase vitamin B1.

4. Post-meal walkA 25 to 30-minute post-meal walk can help burn off excess sugar so that it is not converted into cholesterol or stored as fat.

5. Potassium and magnesiumPotassium is necessary for glucose storage in the liver and the muscles. It also helps move glucose into your cells. Magnesium is critical for the cells that produce insulin. Nearly every diabetic is deficient in magnesium!

6. Ketone supplements Providing the brain with ketones supports healthy blood sugar in the brain, which can improve cognitive function and decrease brain fog.

7. Saltwater Sodium helps prevent stress-induced blood sugar spikes. Adding more salt to your last meal or adding it to a glass of water can improve sleep and calm your mood.Dry fasting can lower blood sugar faster than anything else! Dry fasting means you’re not drinking water or eating food. When you’re dry fasting, your body increases the hormone glucagon, which helps to lower blood sugar. Growth hormone and antioxidants also increase, and your body quickly switches to fat-burning.
