You’ve probably heard of blood sugar a couple of times, but do you know that a healthy level of it can help to burn fat for energy production? Yeah, apart from energy production, balancing your blood sugar also helps in maintaining a healthy weight. Glucose is the body’s main source of energy, and it dictates how energetic or hungry we feel. When you eat carbs, blood sugar is released into the bloodstream. However, for you to burn fat healthily, you need a healthy balance of blood sugar: not too high and not too low. That’s more reason you should eat the right amount of fat, protein, and fiber at each meal. This way, you can stabilize your blood sugar level to burn fat and get a consistent energy supply throughout the day. More so, a healthy blood sugar level prevent any form of insulin spike. The normal range for blood sugar is between 70 mg/ml and 110 mg/ml. Insulin works on these sugars and transfer it from the blood stream to the cells. This helps to keep the blood sugar level within the normal range.

Insulin resistance is estimated to affect one in three Americans, including people above age 60. This silent blood sugar problem increases the risk for having prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, as well as other serious health ailments, such as cancer, stroke, and heart attack. What is insulin resistance? Insulin resistance occurs when the muscle cells, liver, and body fat don’t respond well to insulin due to excess amount of glucose in the bloodstream. This reduces the ability of the cells to absorb and use glucose as a source of energy. However, if the pancreas can produce a high amount of insulin that can overcome the low rate of absorption, your blood glucose will remain within a healthy range, and you’ll be less likely to develop diabetes.
