The process features two primary players:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Glucose:<\/strong> The <a title=\"simplest of sugars\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/simple-sugars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">simplest of sugars<\/a>, glucose (a.k.a. blood sugar) is the body\u2019s main source of energy from food. The word is derived from the Greek word <em>gleukos<\/em>, which means \u201csweet wine.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Insulin:<\/strong> Produced by the pancreas, this hormone directs the body \u2014 particularly cells in muscle and the liver \u2014 to accept glucose. Its function is to help convert food into energy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When a high amount of carbohydrates consumed at one time is quickly digested and broken down into glucose then absorbed, blood sugar levels can spike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis typically happens after eating, especially when consuming food that is high in sugar and carbohydrates,\u201d says registered dietitian nutritionist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowmd.com\/pages\/kimberley-wiemann\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kimberley Wiemann<\/a>, MS, RDN.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Are Glucose Spikes Harmful?<\/h2>\n<p>Under normal circumstances, a postprandial (following a meal) lift in blood sugar is routine and temporary. Over time, however, chronically high spikes in blood sugar can cause major disruptions to the body\u2019s basic systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlood sugar spikes can lead to reduced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/insulin-resistance-physical-exercise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insulin sensitivity<\/a>, which can disrupt hormone balance, including estrogen,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/health-strive.com\/nicole-levine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nicole Levine, MD<\/a>, a California-based physician.<\/p>\n<p>Reduced insulin sensitivity results when the pancreas produces more and more insulin to encourage reluctant cells to absorb glucose. If those cells don\u2019t respond proportionately \u2014 perhaps because they\u2019re already glutted with glucose \u2014 sugar can accumulate in the bloodstream.<\/p>\n<p>That accumulated glucose can end up stored as fat, which is where small amounts of estrogen are produced. More fat in this case may <a title=\"disrupt estrogen levels\" href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC7506791\/#:~:text=Thus%2C%20as%20fat%20mass%20increases%20in%20obesity%2C,source%20of%20estrogen%20production%20in%20the%20body.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">disrupt estrogen levels<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a title=\"Research shows\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/21984197\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Research shows<\/a> that insulin resistance brought on by high blood sugar levels changes the metabolism of estrogen and upsets hormonal balance,\u201d Levine says.<\/p>\n<h2>Blood Sugar Spike Symptoms<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-178435\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/26144422\/why-are-glucose-spikes-harmful-600-stress.jpg\" alt=\"stressed working woman | Why Are Glucose Spikes Harmful\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Chances are you\u2019ve experienced a slump following a sugar rush. \u201cSome common symptoms of blood sugar spikes are increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision, headaches, irritability, and intense hunger,\u201d Levine says.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, however, chronic blood sugar spikes, along with daily stress and a lack of physical activity, can create hormone imbalances. This can lead to symptoms including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mood swings<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/what-is-brain-fog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brain fog<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Weight gain<\/li>\n<li>Sleep issues<\/li>\n<li>Slowed metabolism<\/li>\n<li>Reduced sex drive<\/li>\n<li>PMS<\/li>\n<li>Cravings<\/li>\n<li>Hot flashes<\/li>\n<li>Night sweats<\/li>\n<li>Bloating\/gas<\/li>\n<li>Acne<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you believe you\u2019re experiencing the effects of elevated blood sugar, seek the care of a medical professional.<\/p>\n<h2>What Causes Blood Sugar Spikes?<\/h2>\n<p>Normally, when carbohydrates enter the body, glucose levels rise temporarily (for about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK545201\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one to two hours<\/a>). Food is then converted into energy, and blood sugar levels return to baseline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s natural for the body\u2019s blood sugar level to rise and fall throughout the day, with elevation usually occurring at every meal,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/meonlybetter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Candice Seti,<\/a> a certified personal trainer and clinical psychologist who specializes in eating disorders.<\/p>\n<p>But certain triggers can cause spikes in blood sugar.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Simple carbs<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-178434\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/26144415\/why-are-glucose-spikes-harmful-600-simple-carbs.jpg\" alt=\"couple eating cupcakes | Why Are Glucose Spikes Harmful\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Consider the way a match burns versus how a log burns.<\/p>\n<p>Consuming your carbs in their simplest form makes them quicker to digest \u2014 a brief flare of energy \u2014\u00a0therefore making blood sugar levels quicker (and sharper) to rise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhite rice, pasta, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/ultra-processed-foods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">processed foods<\/a> are more likely to cause a blood sugar spike than <a title=\"healthy carbs\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/good-carbs-vs-bad-carbs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">healthy carbs<\/a> like whole-grain breads and cereals,\u201d Seti says. Of course, candy, soda, and other sugary, high-<a title=\"glycemic\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/glycemic-index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">glycemic<\/a> treats can also spike glucose.<\/p>\n<p>However, more <a title=\"complex carbs\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/simple-carbohydrates-complex-carbohydrates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">complex and fibrous carbs<\/a>, like those in whole fruits, vegetables, and grains, digest slower and more sustained. This lends them to more gradual absorption and a flatter post-meal insulin curve as opposed to one that\u2019s spiked.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Stress<\/h3>\n<p>In response to stress, the adrenal glands release <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/how-to-lower-cortisol-naturally\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cortisol<\/a>. This hormone directs the body to release glucose stored in the liver so it has energy to fight off a perceived threat, whether it\u2019s a charging lion or a looming deadline.<\/p>\n<p>But the body doesn\u2019t differentiate between the two. So if you\u2019re in a constant state of duress, it\u2019s going to release a constant stream of cortisol \u2014 and, by extension, blood sugar \u2014 in response.<\/p>\n<p>And since excess glucose is often converted to fat \u2014 and some of the body\u2019s estrogen <a title=\"is produced in fat cells\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S096007602100042X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is produced in fat tissue<\/a> \u2014 high levels of stress can disrupt levels of estrogen over time. High levels of estrogen can increase cortisol levels in the blood, causing increased reactivity to stress, further perpetuating the cycle.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Inadequate sleep<\/h3>\n<p>Sleep duration, quality, and consistency\u00a0have all <a title=\"been found\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9036496\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">been found<\/a> to directly impact insulin sensitivity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201c<\/strong>A disruption in your sleep cycle can make it harder for the body to use insulin effectively,\u201d Seti says.<\/p>\n<p>While more study is needed, researchers have found a number of possible contributors to decreased insulin sensitivity resulting from insufficient sleep. Increased inflammatory markers and biomarkers, upheaval in circadian rhythms, inadequate light exposure, and heightened levels of cortisol were all observed in test subjects.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Dehydration<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-178433\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/26144408\/why-are-glucose-spikes-harmful-600-hydration.jpg\" alt=\"woman pouring water into cup | Why Are Glucose Spikes Harmful\" width=\"601\" height=\"401\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The overall volume of your blood consists in large part of water. If you don\u2019t drink sufficient amounts of it, the share of blood volume accounted for by water decreases, making the proportion comprised by glucose higher by comparison.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, dehydration <a title=\"makes your blood more concentrated\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/diabetes\/living-with\/10-things-that-spike-blood-sugar.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">can concentrate the amount of glucose in blood<\/a>. It may also <a title=\"alter hormones\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3220834\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">affect hormones<\/a> that influence blood sugar regulation.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Skipping breakfast<\/h3>\n<p>Add to the list of reasons to nourish yourself <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/why-breakfast-matters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first thing in the morning<\/a> the proper regulation of your blood sugar throughout the rest of the day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWaiting until noon to take your first bite can make blood sugar levels rise higher <a title=\"after lunch and dinner\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/diabetes\/living-with\/10-things-that-spike-blood-sugar.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">after lunch and dinner<\/a>,\u201d Seti says.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers are still hypothesizing the reasons why, but <a title=\"have found\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/journals\/british-journal-of-nutrition\/article\/association-between-breakfast-skipping-and-postprandial-hyperglycaemia-after-lunch-in-healthy-young-individuals\/91393F8D93A645CBFA07420EEB2CFD76\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">they have found<\/a> that skipping breakfast prompts the liver to resist insulin while increasing output of glucose. As a result, they observed elevated blood sugar levels after lunch in those who skipped breakfast compared with those who didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Reduce Blood Sugar Spikes<\/h2>\n<p>There are a number of lifestyle modifications you can make to limit glucose spikes.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, some symptoms are more serious than others. If you have concerns about how your body is processing blood sugar, you should consult a physician.<\/p>\n<h3>Diet<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-178432\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/26144401\/why-are-glucose-spikes-harmful-600-diet.jpg\" alt=\"healthy meal | Why Are Glucose Spikes Harmful\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The effort to prevent glucose spikes starts by eating a healthy, rounded diet.
