Drink This Before Bed — It Could Change Your Life

Try one of these 7 nighttime drinks for diabetes management, prediabetes, and insulin resistance. These bedtime drinks for diabetics support healthy blood sugar levels as you sleep, which can prevent a blood sugar issue from developing in the first place. Try these bedtime drinks for better sleep to

what you eat and especially drink at night is really important there are seven nighttime drinks for diabetes pre-diabetes and for people with insulin resistance which comes before pre-diabetes which usually takes about 15 years for your blood sugar for your quality of sleep to prevent getting up several times a night urinating if a person has blood sugar issues they’re not able to go for a long period of time between meals their fuel is dependent on the meal that they just ate at night when they had their last meal now they have to go like 12 13 14 hours without food and a lot of things can happen the first thing you need to know about is the blood sugar will go down sometime during the nighttime the body can’t have that it’s constantly working to stabilize your blood sugar the way it does that is through cortisol which is a stress hormone that’s what the body uses to kind of bring the blood sugar up of course adrenaline it’s not really a hormone it’s a neurotransmitter but it’s going to be another thing that can kind of wake you up if you don’t have the quality of sleep that you need that’s going to put a lot of stress on your blood sugar blood sugar issues prevent a quality of sleep and then poor sleep causes blood sugar issues so it’s a NeverEnding cycle of course A lot of people are getting up to the night peeing all the time and you’re going to lose water if you have high blood sugar because the body’s trying to get rid of it and then the person’s a little more dehydrated and that dehydrated State causes more concentration of blood sugar and now we’re right back into the same situation there’s even something uh that is called the dawn phenomena which is in the morning cortisol which is a stress hormone it’s the highest at 8:00 in the morning that’s usually when a diabetic has the highest blood sugar even if they didn’t eat any sugar the night before when I go through all these drinks it’s going to actually help correct that problem let’s talk about these seven drinks the first one combining apple cider vinegar with cinnamon you want to add water with a tablespoon one or two of alider vinegar add a little pinch of sentiment if we just combine those two we get this very powerful blood sugar regulating drink that can help you to the night number two chamomile tea it has one effect of helping you sleep and feel calm but another one on your blood sugar it lowers cortisol it protects the actual cells in the pancreas that make insulin then we get to number three golden milk this is a combination of turmeric and ginger it’s made in a latte but here we’re combining one of the most amazing herb compounds turmeric that has the active ingredient called curcumin with another amazing one called ginger together it creates a nice compounding effect and you would drink this golden milk before bed number four aloe vera juice you may think about this juice uh to help with digestion ulcers some people take it topically uh for wound healing it has another really potent effect on the cells of the pancreas that make insulin number five berberine tea berberine works very close to the effectiveness of Metformin it’s a common diabetic medication but without the side effects it’s awesome number six electrolytes mainly potassium and magnesium magnesium can potently decrease cortisol it’s going to help you with stress help you with sleep and especially help you with blood sugar issues and then pottassium is another interesting mineral we need a lot of pottassium we need like 4700 milligram rarely does anyone get this much potassium and magnesium are both physiological relaxers but potassium will bring down your pulse rate if it’s too high potassium is also needed to help you store glucose in your liver and even in your muscles potassium is just really good for stress in general as well as for sleeping and number seven and it’s actually an electrolyte as well salt in fact I would just add the salt to the electrolyte and now you have this really awesome compound to help you sleep now what is it about sodium that can help your blood sugar because this is something that diabetics are told to avoid that advice in fact lowering sodium actually raises cortisol I’ve also found that when I take a little salt either underneath my tongue or in a little glass of water before bed I always feel calmer and I sleep better it can reduce cortisol which will then keep your blood sugar more balanced also the sodium helps to be more hydrating to your body so you can hold more fluid and you’re not dehydrated which then we could prevent that super concentrating uh blood sugar situation I mentioned before I mean if you think about it sodium is like a an essential mineral that will help your nerves work muscles work hydration but it also lowers cortisol it supports the adrenal glands I’ve given a lot of options for drinks that you can add before you go to bed go ahead and apply one or more of these and then comment down below and tell me how it worked thanks for watching and I will see you in the next video
