When we talk about blood sugar levels, we're talking about glucose, the molecule that powers our cells and has an enormous effect on our health.

ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS * Glucose is the primary fuel that powers our bodies at the cellular level. We get glucose from the food we eat. * Our body has a complex system for keeping glucose within a healthy range, metabolizing it into fuel or storing it for later use. * Too much or too little glucose can contribute to near-term issues like fatigue and brain fog, as well as long-term conditions from obesity to diabetes to Alzheimer's to cancer. * Fortunately, maintaining healthy glucose levels is largely in our control, through consistently choosing a healthy diet and making positive lifestyle choices.
