How to lower blood sugar at home?

To successfully reduce blood sugar, you can also use special sugar-lowering gymnastics. This method is safe and quite effective. Relatively simple exercises will not take much time, and in combination with proper nutrition will help reduce blood sugar for a long time.

It is known that energy is needed for muscle work, which muscles receive from sugars. If you give your muscles a dosed load systematically, this will lead not only to the normalization of carbohydrate metabolism, but also to a decrease in cholesterol levels, to stabilization of blood pressure, and to an improvement in well-being in general.

Gymnastics to reduce sugar is performed starting with 10-15 repetitions per exercise. Between approaches, you should take a break for rest and relaxation - about 40-50 seconds.

1. Take dumbbells or weights, lower your hands to your thighs. Slowly raise your arms, bending them at the elbows and turning the palmar surfaces toward your shoulders. Slowly return your arms to their original position.
2. Holding the dumbbells, spread your arms to the sides to the level of your temples, bring them closer to your ears, lift them up, and straighten them completely. Return to the starting position in the reverse order.
3. Lie on your back, place your hands behind your head, bend your knees. Spread your elbows to the sides. Swing your abs, lifting the upper segment of your back off the floor. Your lower back should remain on the floor.
4. Stand in a "plank" position, with your arms from elbows to wrists acting as support on the floor. Try to hold this position as long as possible.

After doing the exercises, you must relax, take a few deep breaths in and out. It is good to turn on light music and take a comfortable position for the body - you can lie down for a while, or sit in a chair. After gymnastics, it is advisable to take a shower.

Perhaps, most of us try to resort to folk medicine when treating any disease. High blood sugar is no exception. Well-known "folk" specialists suggest paying attention to such means that can lower blood sugar levels:

• Oatmeal jelly – it should be drunk 4 times a day 20-30 minutes before meals.
• Aspen bark infusion – drink instead of tea before each main meal.
• Blueberry berries and leaves are taken internally or drunk in the form of teas and compotes, often and little by little throughout the day.
