  • Frequent Squats: A Simple Solution for Better Blood Sugar Control
    Jessica supports the study's findings, stating, "Doing 10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes might sound small, but it can definitely add up." This approach may be more effective for blood sugar than a longer walk, offering a practical way to enhance glycemic control during prolonged sitting.
  • Exercise's Dual Role in Blood Sugar Management
    Jessica explains that endurance exercise can lower blood glucose, especially when glycogen is depleted. However, "high-intensity workouts may increase glucose due to hormones like epinephrine." Long-term exercise is positively linked to better blood sugar regulation, emphasizing its importance in metabolic health.
  • Dietitian Recommends Foods for Managing Health Conditions
    Jessica suggests whole grains for diabetes, fruits and vegetables for blood pressure, and healthy fats for cholesterol. For mental health, she advises an intuitive eating approach, stating, "By creating unnecessary restrictions we create more stress around food." These choices can help manage and prevent Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and depression/anxiety.
