Top 10 Tips to Tackle Weak and Trembling Knees
Listed below are some 10 tips that can help you manage weak and trembling knees:
- Eat healthy: Experts opine that a well balanced diet including whole grain, lean proteins, vegetables and fruits are essential to prevent low blood pressure levels.
- Eat smaller meals but more often: Experts also opine that smaller meals should be eaten in order to avoid the tendency to binge at foods. In addition, try giving a gap of 3-4 hors before getting down to eating your second meal. Increase the frequency of small sized meals so that you don’t starve yourself.
- Keep healthy snacks around: Ensure that you have healthy (fat and sugar free) snacks ready by your side that will keep your hungry satisfied. Oats is a healthy option to snack away at office.
- Avoid sweetened foods in empty stomach: Experts opine that sweet foods in empty stomach makes the blood sugar levels rise suddenly which compels greater insulin secretion that ultimately results in falling blood pressure levels.
- Avoid alcohol in empty stomach: Alcohol in empty stomach has a similar effect as sugar has in empty stomach in lowering the blood sugar levels by allowing the body to secrete more insulin.
- Avoid caffeine: Caffeine too results in increased secretion of insulin which ultimately leads to falling blood sugar levels.
- Maintain stable body weight: Experts opine that it is important for people to maintain stable weights in order to avoid weakness or feeble knees which result from low blood sugar levels. Weight fluctuations caused by crash or quick loss diets can result in hypoglycemia.
- Quit smoking: Experts opine that nicotine can interfere with glucagons role to release glucose stored as glycogen in the liver. Nicotine, experts believe increase the production of insulin in the blood but restrict the production of the hormone “glucagon”.
- Exercise regularly: Keep your mind and body healthy by sticking to a regular exercise regime that keeps your mind and body relaxed, rejuvenated and fit.
- Chromium supplement: Low chromium levels in the body have been linked to low blood sugar levels. Consult a doctor for relying on chromium supplements. Other sources of chromium are also available in cheese, black pepper, baked beans and whole wheat products.
Experts opine that diet thereby plays a major role in regulating blood sugar levels. Nutritional discipline is therefore the key to good health, attitude and happiness.
