Symptoms of diabetes can be controlled by a healthy and balanced diet. Some foods, however, are especially useful for regulating blood sugar.
Dr. Sarah Brewer (an award-winning author of health literature and a certified physician, nutritionist and nutritionist) explains which other foods contribute most to stabilize blood sugar levels. The specialist recommends eating between three and five of these foods each day.
such as chromium and magnesium, which can be obtained from foods or in the form of supplements, also contribute significantly to the regulation of blood sugar and help to prevent diabetes-related complications.
Chrome contain products such as egg yolk, cheese, fruits and vegetables, red meat, pulses, whole grains, pepper. An excellent source of magnesium is seafood, meat, eggs, dairy and whole grains, pulses, nuts, green leafy vegetables.
Almonds
Almonds have a positive effect on blood sugar levels, they are saturated and can be consumed without getting fat, have a low glycemic index, rich in protein, fiber, good fat, and antioxidants.
Avocado
Avocado is rich in beneficial fats, including monounsaturated fatty acids. Replacing a portion of carbohydrates in their diet significantly improves blood glucose control.
Sweet potatoes
Sweet potatoes are a better option than white for people with diabetes. Restricting food intakes such as white potatoes and white bread with a high glycemic index and containing so-called "fast" carbohydrates improves insulin sensitivity.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon contains substances that increase insulin secretion from cells and thus contribute to improved control of diabetes.
Wine
Red wine is a rich source of antioxidants such as resveratrol, which contributes to reducing elevated insulin levels in type 2 diabetes.
Tea
Tea, especially green and white, contain antioxidants that increase insulin sensitivity.
Chocolate
Black chocolate contributes to reducing insulin resistance where cells in the body do not react properly to the hormone insulin - a factor that can eventually lead to the development of type 2 diabetes.
Green Leafy Vegetables
Green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale provide protection against age-related macular degeneration, a common cause of weakened vision in people with diabetes.
Separately, vegetables such as cabbage, legumes, and some tuberous plants such as artichokes contain substances that lower blood sugar levels.
