HYPOGLYCEMIA (LOW BLOOD SUGAR)
Natural Support For This Dietary Imbalance
Hypoglycemia results when there is an abnormally low level of sugar
(glucose) in the blood. This condition is often caused by an excess
secretion of insulin from the pancreas. Symptoms of hypoglycemia can
mimic many other conditions. Any or all of the following can be
experienced during a hypoglycemic episode: weakness, heart
palpitations, anxiety, dizziness, headache, depression, weakness in
the legs, tightness in the chest, numbness and/or tingling of body
parts, insomnia, confusion, craving for sweets or starches, and
nervous habits. Poor adrenal function and abnormal carbohydrate
metabolism often occur with hypoglycemia.
Although heredity can play a role, the most common cause of
hypoglycemia is dietary imbalance. Nutritional deficiencies compound
the problem. A diet that is high in refined carbohydrates will
aggravate or even cause hypoglycemia. Paradoxically, these foods will
give temporary relief of symptoms during a low blood sugar "episode"
and are therefore often eaten by hypoglycemics.
If ignored, the condition may predispose to development of
Type II (adult-onset) diabetes. Because of
their high sugar intake, many hypoglycemics also develop
candidiasis.
DIET AND LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS
- Eat only unrefined (complex) carbohydrates. Avoid all processed
grains and sugars (except fresh fruit)
The Super Fast Diet is EXCELLENT for hypoglycemics.
- Always eat breakfast and include protein with this meal. (Eggs,
tofu,
Super Pro ‘96,
whey powder, etc.)
- Do not use coffee, tobacco, alcohol, or sugar.
-
Exercise regularly. Exercise
stabilizes blood sugar levels.
- Practice stress reduction techniques: meditation, prayer,
biofeedback, deep breathing. Stress releases excess adrenalin which
lowers blood sugar levels.
