Do you know what BLOOD Glucose SPIKES are and how they negatively affect your health? In this video, I explain in depth this important topic related to blood glucose control. Learn why they occur, how they can impact your well-being, and what steps you can take to keep your blood sugar levels stable. Blood glucose is the concentration of glucose in the blood, a sugar essential for cellular energy. Blood glucose spikes occur when glucose levels rise rapidly, usually after eating. There are several myths that can lead to incorrect management strategies, so understanding the facts is crucial to adopting effective approaches that benefit long-term metabolic health. ???????? ???????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????? Macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) have different effects on glucose levels. Carbohydrates, especially those with a high glycemic index (GI), have the most direct impact by being rapidly digested and absorbed, causing spikes in blood sugar. ???????????????????????? During stress, the body releases hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which increase glucose by causing the liver to release more glucose and making cells less sensitive to insulin. ???????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????? ???? ???????????????????????? Infections and trauma can induce hyperglycemia due to metabolic stress. During these events, the body releases extra glucose to provide energy to essential tissues, complicating blood sugar management, especially in patients with diabetes. Chronic high blood sugar levels Repeated spikes in blood sugar, or chronic hyperglycemia, can cause significant long-term damage, such as an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attack and stroke. In people with diabetes, chronic hyperglycemia can lead to severe complications such as nerve, kidney, and eye damage due to the impact of excess glucose on various organs and systems. ???????????????????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????????????????? Effective blood glucose management is crucial to prevent glucose spikes and reduce the risk of long-term complications. Techniques include constant MONITORING through the use of digital glucometers and continuous glucose monitoring devices. Treatments may include insulin or hypoglycemic medications, a balanced diet low in high GI foods, increased physical activity, and body weight control. ???????????????????????????????????? Aerobic exercise (such as running or swimming) improves insulin sensitivity and facilitates glucose uptake by muscles, thereby lowering blood glucose levels. Anaerobic exercise (such as weight lifting) may also improve glucose control, although its effect is less direct. ???????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????? To control postprandial blood glucose spikes, strategies such as using apple cider vinegar, incorporating more fiber into the diet, and manipulating meal order have all been investigated. Proper glucose regulation is vital to maintaining essential bodily functions and preventing diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. 0:00 Introduction 0:52 When do glucose spikes occur? 2:12 Myths and realities 6:23 Factors 17:52 Long-term impact 19:26 Recommendations and treatments 22:39 Conclusions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ???? ???????????? ???????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????: / @DrCarlosJaramillo LET'S KEEP IN TOUCH ON MY OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://drcarlosjaramillo.com BUY MY BOOKS AND SUPPLEMENTS HERE: https://shop.medicinafuncional.co/ MY LIST OF PRODUCTS ON AMAZON: https://bit.ly/ProductosAmazonCJ https://shop.medicinafuncional.co/cat...
