Aside from eating a healthy wholesome diet rich in low glycaemic fruits, vegetables, complex carbohydrates and protein, you can maintain healthy sugar levels and prevent sugar cravings by including herbs and sugar control supplements.
Chromium is the most widely studied mineral for regulating sugar levels and is incorporated into many blood sugar control supplements often accompanied with B vitamins which enhance metabolism of sugars into energy.
