Prevention of diabetes - page 8

Pharmacist's advice

Diabetes prevention requires a comprehensive approach. In addition to using supplements and teas, it is crucial to maintain a healthy body weight and regular physical activity. Try to eliminate refined sugars from your diet and focus on fiber-rich foods. Stress management is equally important, because chronic stress raises cortisol levels, which directly affects blood sugar spikes and complicates glucose metabolism.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can teas really help in diabetes prevention?
Yes, carefully selected herbal teas contain active components that improve insulin sensitivity, slow down carbohydrate absorption, and contribute to overall metabolic balance.

2. How does stress affect blood sugar levels?
When you are stressed, your body releases hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which can cause the release of stored glucose into the bloodstream. That is why calming preparations and adaptogens are great allies in prevention and maintaining health.
