Nutritionist Reveals Simple Strategies to Manage Blood Sugar

Nutritionist Offers Practical Tips for Managing Blood Glucose Levels London, UK – In a recent video released by GB News, nutritionist Ailsa Hichens shared practical advice on managing blood sugar levels. Hichens' approach focuses on realistic dietary changes and lifestyle adjustments, rather than restrictive clean-eating regimes. "It's not just about how much you eat, but the types of foods you consume," she explains in the video. She recommends starting the day with a protein and fiber-rich breakfast, such as overnight oats or avocado toast with eggs. Hichens also stresses the importance of including plenty of non-starchy vegetables in meals, highlighting their high fiber and low carbohydrate content, which helps slow down glucose absorption. She adds that pairing lean proteins and healthy fats with carbohydrates can further prevent sharp blood sugar spikes and keep energy levels steady throughout the day. Beyond diet, Hichens emphasizes the role of regular physical activity and sufficient sleep in regulating blood sugar. "Even a short walk after meals improves insulin sensitivity," she notes. Aiming for 7-9 hours of quality sleep is also crucial for metabolic health and blood sugar control. By making mindful food choices and lifestyle adjustments, viewers can effectively manage their blood sugar and support their overall well-being, according to Hichens' advice.
