2 natural ways to lower your A1C

In today’s post we’re going to examine 2 natural ways to lower your A1C. These two ways are not normally discussed by the medical community. In fact, I just read an article from WebMD titled “9 Tips to Lower Your A1c Level” and neither of these two natural ways were discussed.

Yet, these 2 ways can be an extremely effective method to improve glucose metabolism to lower your A1C.

If you’re interested in the WebMD article, then click here. Plus I provide a link to the following article that actually discusses these 2 natural ways to improve your blood sugar levels.

In 2001 the American Diabetes Association published a study titled “Long-Term Oral l-Arginine Administration Improves Peripheral and Hepatic Insulin Sensitivity in Type 2 Diabetic Patients”

Here is the stated conclusion from the authors of this study,

“l-Arginine treatment significantly improves but does not completely normalize peripheral and hepatic insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetic patients.”

When people hear the term “diabetes” they usually associated it with blood sugar issues. And while this is true, the main problem centers on insulin resistance.

Your body uses insulin to move sugar out of the blood stream into your cells. It is a key component in what is called glucose metabolism, which is your ability to use glucose or blood sugar as an energy source.

This is where L-arginine and nitric oxide can make a significant difference in your A1C levels.

First, nitric oxide helps to normalize glucose metabolism by increasing glucose transport.

Second, nitric oxide facilitates the uptake of glucose into cells.

Third, L-arginine regulates insulin release, which is needed for proper glucose metabolism.

Fourth, both l-arginine and nitric oxide work together to enhance insulin sensitivity for improved glucose metabolism.

To help you understand how critically important these two natural ways are I did the following Google search: Read More →

Vitamin K Improves Glucose Metabolism

Vitamin K Improves Glucose Metabolism

As I was searching for my next health article the title Vitamin K Improves Glucose Metabolism caught my attention. And as I researched this topic I discovered that both forms of vitamin K improves glucose metabolism.

Yes, there are two main forms of this vitamin. Each form has a different overall function in your body.

Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) helps to keep blood platelet cells from sticking together. Because of this, if you are on blood thinning medication, then your physicians will usually caution you about limiting your intake of this vitamin.

Vitamin K1 is found in green leafy vegetables like kale, spinach, collards, Swiss chard, turnip greens, mustard greens, parsley, romaine, and green leaf lettuce. You will also find this vitamin in Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage.

Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is used by your body to regulate calcium levels in the blood stream. This vitamin helps to keep calcium in the bones where it belongs. And prevents the calcification of your soft tissues like your arteries, heart, lungs, and kidneys.

Vitamin K2 comes from animal and protein sources like natto, fermented soy, liver, cheese, egg yolks, dark chicken meat, grass feed beef, and butter.

In summary, vitamin K plays an important role in proper blood clotting, maintaining bone density, and preventing vascular calcification.

Certain drugs like statins actually lower vitamin K levels in your system. Which now makes sense to me since one of the side effects of statin drug usage is an increased risk of diabetes. Read More →
