Surprising Factors That Impact Blood Glucose Levels
Maintaining stable blood glucose levels is crucial for overall health and well-being. Yet various factors can influence blood glucose regulation, and these extend well beyond just diet and exercise. Sleep, stress, macronutrients, microbiome, and environmental toxins all play a role.
