Eating small, frequent meals helps keep blood sugar levels relatively stable, reducing the incidence of hypoglycemia. Incorporating protein at each meal also helps keep sugar levels stable. Protein powders are prevalent at natural food stores and can be used in shakes with soy milk and fruit. Focus on whole grains, beans, fruits and vegetables for best results. Avoid processed and refined foods.
Aerobic exercise is most effective.
Start walking 40 minutes, four times daily. Work up to walking six times weekly. Exercise increases endorphins, promoting feelings of well-being. Exercise also lowers cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, increases energy and lowers risk of heart disease. Find someone that will exercise with you.
