CEASE Ignoring This!!!

Is your blood sugar too high? There are some common symptoms of high blood sugar to look out for. Learn to spot high blood sugar warning signs and reduce high blood sugar and insulin resistance with a healthy diet. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: 7 signs of high blood sugar 0:19 Understanding hyperglycemia 1:17 Symptoms of high blood sugar 4:38 How to lower blood sugar with dietary changes 5:43 How to reverse insulin resistance 6:12 The A1C test for high blood sugar When you overeat carbohydrates, your blood sugar rises, and insulin removes the sugar from the blood. Insulin also allows sugar to be used as fuel in the cell. Due to insulin resistance, many high blood sugar symptoms are related to low blood sugar and low sugar inside the cell. Here are 7 high blood sugar warning signs. 1. Excessive urination Waking up to urinate at night signifies a blood sugar problem and even a prediabetic situation. When you have too much sugar in the blood, it’s filtered by the kidneys and excreted in the urine. 2. Excessive thirst Excessive urination leads to water loss and excessive thirst. High blood sugar causes sodium retention, which your body tries to dilute. High blood glucose also contributes to potassium deficiency, which also increases thirst. 3. Skin changes Skin folds will often become darker due to excess glucose. 4. Brain fog and fatigue Many people have no idea this is a symptom of high blood sugar! High blood sugar starves the neurons. 5. Mood swings Irritability is often caused when your blood sugar that’s too high goes too low. A ketogenic diet can significantly improve mood issues. 6. Cravings Cravings will typically be for sugar and salty carbs. 7. Blurry eyes The lens of the eye becomes swollen, and the inside of the eye becomes reddened. Fixing the diet and lowering carbohydrates could help eliminate symptoms of high blood sugar within weeks. You’ll also want to increase glucagon to decrease insulin by consuming high-quality protein like red meat, fish, or eggs. An A1C test measures your blood sugar over 120 days. The higher the percentage of glycated hemoglobin you have, the more severe your diabetes is. If you’re on keto or the carnivore diet, you may notice that your A1C test is still high. This is because these diets extend the life of the red blood cells. Disclaimer: Dr. Eric Berg received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988.

SUPERIOR To Ozempic! Shed Belly Fat Quicker

Find out how to lose visceral fat by avoiding the 6 foods that prevent belly fat loss. In this video, I’m going to tell you what NOT to eat to lose belly fat. Avoid these foods if you want a flat stomach! Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: How to lose belly fat fast 0:21 6 foods that prevent belly fat loss 3:21 Atkins products to reduce belly fat 7:13 Avoid these foods! Visceral fat surrounds the organs and keeps your body in a state of inflammation, preventing fat loss. Avoid these 6 foods that prevent fat loss. 1. Low-fat yogurt Low-fat yogurt is typically high in sugar and often contains industrial food starches like modified food starch, modified corn starch, or maltodextrin. Starch is not sweet, so people consume much more than sugar. It’s higher on the glycemic index than sugar and is used to add bulk to a product. 2. Processed meat Hot dogs contain industrial sugars such as corn syrup that will spike blood sugar. Adding sugar to meat creates advanced glycated proteins. Organic grass-fed beef hot dogs are a good option! 3. Atkins products These products are marketed as low-carb and keto-friendly but contain very low-quality ingredients such as soy protein isolates, seed oils, GMOs, and synthetic fibers. These can cause bloating and diarrhea and also prevent fat loss. 5. Juice Many products marketed as “juice” often only contain minimal amounts of fruit juice and have high amounts of sweeteners, such as high-fructose corn syrup. Juice from concentrate is devoid of nutrients. Fructose found in fruit juice can only be broken down by the liver, which can contribute more to a fatty liver than glucose. 6. Agave nectar This sweetener seems healthy but is very high in fructose, which is hard on the liver. Coconut sugar and honey are better options but should be avoided when focusing on fat loss. 7. Mayonnaise Processed mayo is mainly composed of soy oil. This type of fat is stored in the fat cells and isn’t burned by the body as quickly as saturated fat. Seed oils like soy oil may be at the root of chronic disease. Disclaimer: Dr. Eric Berg received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988.

THIS Lowers Blood Sugar Levels QUICKER than Anything Else

Find out how to lower blood sugar if you fall off the wagon and consume too many carbs. In this quick video, I’m going to share natural ways to lower blood sugar and get into fat-burning FAST! Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: How to lower blood sugar quickly 0:12 High-intensity interval training 0:44 Apple cider vinegar to control blood sugar naturally 1:13 Supplements for natural blood sugar support 2:27 Post-meal walk to lower blood sugar 2:55 Potassium and magnesium 3:43 Ketone supplements 4:23 Salt water 4:57 The best way to reverse high blood sugar 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 vinegar Apple 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 supplements Berberine 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 walk A 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 magnesium Potassium 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.
