What Are Normal Glucose Levels and How Can Ayurveda Help in Regulating Blood Sugar Naturally? - #16255
I recently had a blood test, and my glucose levels came back slightly higher than normal, which has got me worried. I want to understand what normal glucose levels are, why they fluctuate, and how Ayurveda can help regulate blood sugar levels naturally. From what I understand, normal glucose levels are generally between 70-99 mg/dL when fasting, but my levels were a bit on the higher end. This has made me wonder why my glucose levels are on the rise and whether there’s something I’m doing or eating that is contributing to this increase. Is it related to stress, diet, or metabolic factors? I’ve heard that Ayurveda recommends balancing the body’s energies to improve overall health and regulate blood sugar. Are there specific Ayurvedic herbs, such as Fenugreek, Gymnema Sylvestre, or Bitter Melon, that can help in regulating glucose levels and improving insulin sensitivity? How do these herbs work in the body to help maintain stable blood sugar, and are there specific foods or practices that can assist in controlling blood sugar in conjunction with these herbs? Additionally, does Ayurveda recommend dietary changes to help stabilize glucose levels? Should I focus on foods with a low glycemic index, like whole grains and leafy greens, while avoiding processed sugars and carbs? If anyone has used Ayurveda to help regulate glucose levels or improve overall blood sugar management, I would love to hear about your experiences and what worked for you.
