Glycemic indices of foods vary within different groups of people - i.e. different people can have different blood glucose responses to the same food. Besides consuming foods and beverages rich in carbohydrates, factors like rest and stress affect blood glucose levels. There are numerous diet and fitness strategies that are clinically proven to stabilize blood glucose readings. The challenge with maintaining stable glucose levels is knowing an individual’s glucose, and how to apply different strategies to suit our individual bodies. Low glucose levels lead to fatigue, low energy, weakness, depression, anxiety, nervousness, and consequently lack of focus. High glucose levels lead to fatigue, dehydration, vomiting, nausea, and consequently lack of focus. Rapidly alternating between high and low glucose levels (glucose spikes as a result of constant high carbohydrate intake) results in sluggishness, frequent urination, increased thirst, and headaches.
