Low blood sugar is “the great mimicker.” That’s because it can copy almost any other condition inside our disease experience. For example, it can look like a heart attack, panic attack, migraine or MS. It can look similar to Lupus, depression, indigestion or tinnitus/Meniere’s disease. Low blood sugar might appear like practically anything and can affect nearly any organ system, but it most usually shows up in symptoms associated with the brain and liver.
Hypoglycemia sets off the famous “fight-or-flight” crisis response. During fight-or-flight, your body turns off non-crisis systems and pours stress hormones to your bloodstream. Any sugar still in your liver is used as fuel (glucose) and this rapidly brings your glucose levels back to normal. (If your liver is depleted and cannot deliver the sugar, your body will strip it from your muscles and kill the muscle cells.) Once your sugar levels return to normal, the fight-or-flight stress response stops and normalcy at some point returns.
Hypoglycemia is not a disease in itself; it is more of a reaction to the 4 problems of all imbalances (toxins, trauma, deficiency and stress). Hypoglycemia is a major trigger for distressing symptoms. Find the cause and low blood sugar can typically be resolved.
Numerous supplements can help, especially those that focus on filling nutritional deficiencies, removing toxins, easing psychological distress and repairing tissue hurt by injury.
There are 4 triggers that create illness: trauma (injury), toxins, nutrient deficiency and stress. Other deficiencies can bring about Hypoglycemia as well. For example, dehydration, too little sleep and nutrient deficiency can generate an imbalance in blood sugar metabolic processes. Given that individuals low in Vitamin D speedily become hypoglycemic, and since Vitamin D is associated with healthy sun exposure, a lack of sunlight can cause hypoglycemia.
Poisons such as heavy metals can lead to hypoglycemia and so can allergies- which can be frequently be confused with low blood sugar.
Even traumas can produce hypoglycemia as a body prompts inflammation in the repair process. Slight injuries brought about by an exercise free lifestyle cause continual blood sugar swings. Exercise – specifically in morning or evening sunlight – can activate Vitamin D and normalize our blood sugar.
There are so many factors that are important to our health and so many ways that we can try to get ourselves healthier. Working out in the early morning or late afternoon sunshine and making exercising a part of our daily life is important. We need to strive for a better diet too, with sufficient nutrition and a healthy consumption of antioxidant rich foods and nutrients to encourage our own production of antioxidants like CoQ10 and glutathione.
