Went Overboard On Thanksgiving? Read How Chromium Supplements Can Help Support Healthy Blood Sugar

Most people do not get adequate chromium from diet alone. This essential trace mineral is required for normal protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Chromium may also be used as a dietary supplement to help maintain a healthy blood sugar level and appetite support. When our blood sugar falls to low we experience cravings for sugars and other carbohydrates to get blood sugar back up. The key to avoiding this unhealthy pattern that most Americans believe to be the norm is to have small frequent meals and cut back on foods high in sugar.

The Benefits of Ketogenics

What is a Ketogenic Diet?

The ketogenic diet is a high protein, adequate fat and very low carbohydrate diet. The diet mimics aspects of starvation by forcing the body to burn fat rather than carbohydrates. Normally carbohydrates in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling the brain. However, if there are very little carbohydrates in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. When ketone bodies are produced, it is known as a state of ketosis.

When the body resources fat as its primary fuel source weight loss is achieved. In addition, these food choices support healthy blood sugar levels giving you more consistent energy levels throughout the day.
