As we all know, <a title=\"Diabetes and Exercise\" href=\"http:\/\/www.diabetes-prevention.daystarbooks.com\/exercise-beat-diabetes-tips.html\" target=\"_self\">exercise|playcise<\/a> can help reduce excess glucose levels. But, there is another countermeasure that can help reduce blood glucose levels. Water! Water can help dilute the amount of glucose and pass that excess out the body through urination via the kidneys. Water should always accompany any snack of meal of any kind.<br \/>\nThere is much research to support that fact about how water can help control and reduce the effects of high glucose levels that leads to or is an indicator of diabetes. By drinking more water one adds more health to their lives and less medical related doctor visits. That being said, every chance and opportunity we get, it is important to make our kids aware of the benefits of drinking more water.<br \/>\n<strong>Eat, Drink<\/strong><br \/>\nIt is essential that every time your kids eat, they drink water. Get as much fluids into them as possible. Not so much so as to dilute valuable necessary bodily minerals, but not so little so that sugar molecules far out weigh the water molecules. A good balance can be achieved by close observation and monitoring of ones&#8217; blood glucose levels.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1801\" style=\"width: 176px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1801\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1801\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daystarbooks.com\/wp_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/a-is-for-alert-iicon.jpg\" alt=\"a-is-for-awareness\" width=\"166\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.daystarbooks.com\/wp_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/a-is-for-alert-iicon.jpg 166w, http:\/\/www.daystarbooks.com\/wp_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/a-is-for-alert-iicon-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 166px) 100vw, 166px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1801\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">a-is-for-awareness<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The exact amount of water to drink can be affected by weight and activity or inactivity, how much food was eaten and the type of food.
