Control blood sugar from "summary" of Prevent a Second Heart Attack by Janet Bond Brill, PhD, RD, LDN
The key to preventing a second heart attack lies in maintaining control over your blood sugar levels. When your blood sugar is out of control, it can lead to a host of health problems, including an increased risk of heart disease. By keeping your blood sugar in check, you can reduce your risk of experiencing another heart attack. One way to control your blood sugar is to eat a healthy diet that is low in sugar and refined carbohydrates. Focus on eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources. These foods will help to keep your blood sugar levels stable throughout the day. In addition to eating a healthy diet, it is important to maintain a regular exercise routine. Exercise can help to lower your blood sugar levels and improve your overall cardiovascular health. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. Monitoring your blood sugar levels regularly is another important step in controlling your blood sugar. By keeping track of your levels, you can make adjustments to your diet and exercise routine as needed to keep your blood sugar in a healthy range. If diet and exercise alone are not enough to control your blood sugar, your doctor may recommend medication to help regulate your levels. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions closely and take any prescribed medication as directed.- Controlling your blood sugar is essential for preventing a second heart attack. By eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, monitoring your blood sugar levels, and possibly taking medication, you can reduce your risk of experiencing another heart attack and improve your overall health and well-being.
