Blood Sugar
We use blood sugar (in the form of glucose) to fuel the processes in our body.
Blood sugar is measured in milligrams of glucose per 100 milliliters of blood.
Blood sugar levels are effected by eating too much, eating the wrong foods, a
lack of physical activity, stress, medication, or by infection and illness. Diabetes
and hypoglycemia are common forms of blood sugar disorders.
High or low blood sugar levels are dangerous and can cause medical complications and even death if not treated. Shaking, sweating, confusion, a fast heart rate, seizures, loss of consciousness, and other adverse effects can result from abnormal amounts of blood sugar in our bodies. It is important to maintain and monitor our blood sugar levels, especially those with diabetes or hypoglycemia.
A healthy diet can help regulate blood sugar levels and encourage normal metabolism. Table sugar and other carbohydrates can elevate blood sugar to unhealthy levels or cause reactions to the insulin that is subsequently produced. But don't give up that sweet tooth! There are natural and safe substitutes that can keep "sweet" in your vocabulary.
Xylitol is a naturally occurring substance that is crystalline in form and looks and tastes like sugar. Xylitol is all-natural, not artificial, and a normal substance used in everyday metabolism. Our bodies produce up to 15 grams of xylitol each day. Found mostly in fruits and vegetables, xylitol is perfectly safe for human consumption and has been given the FDA's safest rating as a food additive. Because xylitol is absorbed slowly and only partially utilized by the body, it contains 40% less calories than other carbohydrates, about 2.4 calories per gram. It has little effect on blood sugar levels. It is even safe for use by those with diabetes and hypoglycemia.
