Pravrajya Suruchi

Light Exercise: Engage in brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, or even a short stair climb for 5 minutes. 

 Drink Water: Dehydration can sometimes falsely elevate blood sugar readings. 

Small Protein Snack: Have a small protein snack like a handful of almonds, Greek yogurt, or hard-boiled egg. 

Deep Breathing: Take slow, deep breaths for a few minutes. This can trigger the relaxation response, potentially leading to a slight decrease in blood sugar.

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV):  Mix 1-2 teaspoons of ACV with water and drink. ACV may improve insulin sensitivity.

Cinnamon: Sprinkle some cinnamon on your food or drink. Studies suggest cinnamon may have mild blood sugar-lowering properties.

Chewing Gum (Sugar-Free): Chewing sugar-free gum can stimulate saliva production, which may aid in digestion.

Meditation or Relaxation Techniques: Similar to deep breathing, engaging in short meditation or relaxation exercises
