When we think about stress and anxiety, we don't often consider the role that glucose levels play in our mental well-being. However, research has shown that there is a clear link between elevated glucose levels and increased stress and anxiety. In this article, we will explore this connection and discuss how coaching and lifestyle changes can help.

The link between glucose and stress

When we experience stress, our body releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones trigger the "fight or flight" response, which elevates our heart rate and increases glucose levels in our bloodstream. This is a natural response designed to help us deal with perceived threats or dangers.

However, when we experience chronic stress, our glucose levels can remain elevated for an extended period. This can lead to a variety of negative impacts on our mental and physical health. For example, studies have found that individuals with higher glucose levels are more likely to experience symptoms of depression and anxiety.

The negative Impact of elevated glucose levels on mental well-being

When our glucose levels remain chronically elevated, it can lead to a host of mental health issues. Elevated glucose levels have been linked to increased anxiety and depression, cognitive decline, and impaired memory function. Additionally, for individuals who already struggle with anxiety or other mental health conditions, elevated glucose levels can exacerbate these symptoms.

Managing stress and anxiety to Improve glucose levels

Managing stress and anxiety is critical to improving glucose levels and overall mental well-being. Engaging in stress-reducing activities like exercise, meditation, deep breathing, and talking to a therapist can help lower glucose levels and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Additionally, incorporating a healthy diet, getting adequate sleep, and practicing self-care can also help regulate glucose levels and reduce stress.
