The three habits that contribute to the increase in the level of sugar in the

Foods with a high glycemic index raise blood sugar quickly. But apart from food, some habits we practice every day can contribute to sudden spikes in blood sugar.

Here are the mistakes most people make every day that can raise blood sugar levels.

Lack of sleep

Not getting enough sleep can raise blood sugar, interfering with the body's ability to effectively regulate glucose. Lack of sleep reduces insulin sensitivity, which makes it harder for cells to respond to insulin, resulting in higher blood sugar levels.

Skipping meals

When you skip a meal, blood sugar may initially drop and the body then releases glucose to compensate for the deficit. This often causes the release of stress hormones, such as cortisol, which can lead to a spike in blood sugar.

Insufficient physical activity

When we are not active, glucose stays longer in the blood, which increases the sugar level. Regular exercise increases insulin sensitivity, allowing cells to respond better to insulin.
