A new study published in the journal Neurology suggests that even slightly elevated blood sugar can lead to reduced brain volume associated with dementia. These findings suggest that even for people who do not have diabetes, blood sugar levels can influence brain health. Recommendations for naturally lowering blood sugar levels include exercising regularly so that your muscles can tap into their glucose reserves for energy. When that supply has been exhausted, your body starts to use glucose from the bloodstream which causes blood glucose levels to drop. Also, eat a diet that is low in carbohydrates and high in protein. And finally, take supplements that have ingredients proven to help lower blood sugar.
