Water

Although water isn’t considered food, it plays a great role in the control and prevention of high blood sugar.

More than half of the human body is made up of water. The average human body contains 50-65% water, and finding the perfect balance is key to keeping healthy. Our water intake replaces what is lost through sweat, peeing, and even breathing, and should be enough to keep levels within the normal range.

When we are properly hydrated, blood sugar levels begin to normalize, helping the kidney flush out excess blood sugar through the urine. Studies have shown that people who drink more water have a lower risk of developing diabetes and hypertension, two conditions that cause stroke and heart disease.
