People suffering from diabetes and other diseases related to blood sugar levels must follow a certain diet.
To optimize their performance, they should definitely know about foods that have the ability to control sugar levels.
Broccoli and broccoli sprouts
Chopping or chewing broccoli produces sulforaphane, an active ingredient with sugar-lowering properties. It improves insulin sensitivity, lowers blood sugar, and reduces oxidative stress markers.
Broccoli and sprouts should be eaten raw or lightly steamed.
Seafood
Fish, shellfish, and other seafood are rich in proteins, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. All of these help regulate blood glucose levels and keep you feeling full for a long time.
Pumpkin and pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin contains a large amount of fiber, polysaccharides and antioxidants, which means it is perfect for regulating blood glucose. However, scientists have not yet reported which method is best to use for preparing pumpkin to enjoy its healing properties.
Pumpkin seeds also help lower blood sugar.
Nuts and nut butter
We are talking about almonds and peanuts, which contribute to a more stable blood glucose level. They can be eaten both after a main meal and on an empty stomach.
Flax seed
Flax seeds are a real treasure trove of useful substances: they contain a lot of fiber and fats necessary for the body. Due to this, flax has a positive effect on health and helps reduce blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.
