Watch out for mineral deficiencies
In addition to these, the deficiency of minerals such as iron, chromium and magnesium, which develops due to some diseases or malnutrition, are among the factors that cause more frequent sweet crises. Due to the decrease in estrogen hormone during the menopause and pre-menstrual period, it is the period when sweet crises are most experienced. In addition, emotional states, intense stress and the process of depression can also lead to sweet crises. Here are 9 ways that will turn you off the brink of crisis;
1. Avoid strict diets with very low calories and prolonged hunger. Take care to feed at intervals of 3-4 hours.
2. Instead of eating fresh and dried fruits alone, add dairy products such as milk, ayran, kefir, yoghurt or healthy oils such as raw almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts.
3. Instead of simple carbohydrates with a high glycemic index and increase blood sugar quickly, choose complex carbohydrates such as bulgur, buckwheat, whole grain foods and legumes.
4. Increase your daily fiber intake. Foods with high fiber content / fiber delay gastric emptying, allowing you to stay full longer and your blood sugar to be more balanced.
5. Add probiotic foods such as kefir, yogurt, and tarhana to your diet.
6. Use plenty of spices in meals. Make room especially for cinnamon in your kitchen.
7. Drink plenty of water.
8. Try to get adequate and quality sleep and stay away from stress.
9. Increase serotonin secretion by exercising regularly.
