8 practical sugar control tips from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine.
In recent years, with the improvement of living standards, the incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes has increased year by year, and sugar control has become the focus of many people's attention. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, diabetes is not simply a problem of high blood sugar, but is closely related to factors such as dysfunction of human organs and disharmony of qi and blood.
Below, I will share with you 8 practical sugar control tips from the perspective of Chinese medicine to help you better manage your blood sugar and stay healthy.
1.Diet: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that diet is one of the important factors affecting blood sugar. It is recommended that diabetic patients mix food reasonably, control their intake, and avoid overeating fat and sweet. At the same time, bitter gourd, mulberry leaves and other ingredients with hypoglycemic effect can be appropriately added to assist in sugar control.
2.Exercise: Proper exercise helps regulate qi and blood, promote metabolism, and lower blood sugar. Diabetic patients can choose the exercise method that suits them, such as traditional fitness methods such as Tai Chi and Baduanjin, as well as aerobic exercises such as walking and jogging.
3.Emotion management: TCM believes that mood swings affect the flow of qi and blood in the body, which in turn affects blood sugar levels. Therefore, maintaining a good mood and avoiding mood swings are essential for sugar control.
4.Rational use of drugs: Following the doctor's instructions and using hypoglycemic drugs rationally is an important means of blood sugar control. At the same time, it can be combined with traditional Chinese medicine**, such as acupuncture, cupping, etc., to regulate body functions and improve the effect of sugar control.
5.Regular work and rest: Maintaining a good work and rest habit can help regulate the body's endocrine system and stabilize blood sugar levels. Diabetic patients are advised to maintain adequate sleep time and avoid bad lifestyle habits such as staying up late.
6.Regular monitoring: Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels can help you keep abreast of your blood sugar status and provide a basis for adjusting your sugar control regimen. Diabetics are advised to monitor their blood sugar regularly and keep records.
7.Foot care: Diabetic patients need to pay special attention to foot care to keep their feet clean and dry to avoid breakage and infection. At the same time, methods such as foot soaking with traditional Chinese medicine can be used to promote foot blood circulation and prevent complications such as diabetic foot.
8.Quit smoking and limit alcohol: Both smoking and alcohol consumption can affect blood sugar levels and worsen diabetes. Therefore, diabetic patients should quit smoking and limit alcohol to keep their blood sugar stable.
