What is glucose?

Listen Later

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.
