Step 1
Eating healthy foods - is a major step in lowering your blood sugar. You should eat fruits, vegetables, whole grain, beans, peas, lentils, low fat dairy products and nuts. Decrease your intake of sweets, fats, carbs, alcohol and caffeine. Cinnamon has also been shown to reduce blood sugars.
-
Step 2
Exercise - has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels with the best results being from aerobic type of exercise. Over time having high blood sugar damages the blood vessels eventually causing other major health problems.
-
Step 3
Decrease stress - puts your body in a fight or flight response which was very important for self preservation when fighting the lion or tiger. This also increases your heart rate as well as blood sugar which is not good when it is happening long term.

Step 4
Chiropractic - Deals with the nervous system. The nervous system is responsible for every function in your entire body. If your nervous system is working properly then your body is functioning like it should. It is important to get your nervous system checked on a regular basis.

on 2/21/2009 I'd never thought of the chiropractic angle, but that works for everything else that's wrong with me...BP, back pain, stress, etc, so why not?? Great article!
