Exercise To Lower Blood Your Sugar Quickly 10 Minute Routine.
Research shows that short, intense bouts of exercise can stabilize glucose levels and may even flatten your belly. Even for those who may have impaired glucose tolerance, circuit training increases insulin sensitivity. During intense exercise, where effort is 80% of VO2 max (VO2 max is the amount of oxygen your body can use in one minute per kilogram of your body weight), glucose production rises eight-fold higher than at rest, and the amount of glucose you use increases four times higher. Bottom line? short bursts of exercise at a high intensity can burn extra glucose effectively.
In this video I am using a Nutrisense CGM to monitor my blood glucose levels before, during and after my workout. Nutrisense is bringing continuous glucose monitors (aka CGM’s) to the masses. That’s right, CGMs are no longer just for diabetic patients, and that’s in large part due to our shifting understanding of metabolic health and its root cause in several chronic diseases. Using a CGM can help you improve glucose levels, understand your response to food + training, and make informed healthy lifestyle changes. Do you already use a CGM to keep your metabolic health in good shape? Let me know in the comments below. If you dont already use one, get a discount with my code CJFITSQUAD here.
CGM technology shows us how our glucose moves throughout the day, 24/7! This is important because our blood glucose gives us insight into how well metabolism is working. You can think of metabolism like the engine of our bodies. Glucose is the primary source of fuel for that engine. If there are issues with our metabolism, we will see larger fluctuations and higher absolute value in glucose. By tracking our glucose, we can see what factors are driving up glucose. We can then make tweaks to those factors to optimize our metabolism. The more we can optimize our metabolism, the more we will see an improvement in both short-term and long-term health goals.
NutriSense program combines CGM technology and expertise through support of credentialed RDs to help support whatever your health goals are. Everyone has a varied glycemic response to different foods and factors. So the CGM provides personal insight into what works for you. The RD can help you understand this data. In addition, they will work with you to develop personalized interventions to help you reach your health goals.
Through this program, you can:
- Understand what diet works for you. We all have a unique glycemic response to different foods and factors. There is no one size fits all approach. Through using a CGM, you can see what foods work for you best!
- Learn the tools to achieve your health goals. Whether you want to optimize glucose, reduce cravings, improve energy, build muscle, or optimize athletic performance, NutriSense can help. Your personal RD will help set action steps with you based on your personal data that help you achieve your goals.
