Fruits that combat diabetes
Diabetes diseases arises when the body’s ability to produce or respond to the hormone insulin is impaired, resulting in abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates and elevated levels of glucose in the blood.
Can controlling your blood sugar levels and preventing Diabetes complications can be as simple as eating the right foods? The answer is yes. Certain foods are overflowing with nutritional substances that stabilize the blood sugar levels, protect out heart, and even save our vision from the harmful effects of Diabetes.
Fruits and vegetables offer a wealth of natural chemicals that can improve your health. Researchers at the Salk Institute in California have discovered one common fruit that contains a substance that may protect against both diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. Though our focus is on diabetes.
According to a lab study at Salk, the natural chemical called fisetin, found in strawberries, can reduce the complications of diabetes and also protect the brain against the harmful effects of aging.
A chemical substance in the family of plant ingredients called flavonoids, can help the body fight off several different health problems.
Flavonoid producing fruits are Citrus fruits including grapefruit, lemons, limes and oranges are high in the flavonone group of flavonoids including apples, pears, plums, peaches and apricots, bananas and are best if consumed raw with the skin on, excluding bananas of course so as to prevent a stomach ache and gummy teeth 😀.smh.
simultaneously, this is apart from the researchers discovery of fisetin which helps neurons survive and can improve memory.
Fisetin producing fruits and vegetables include Strawberries,Mangoes,Cucumber with skin,Apples, Persimmons,Kiwi,Peaches,Grapes,Tomatoes,Onions
Lab animals with diabetes who were suffering kidney problems experienced significant improvement in their condition when they consumed a diet rich in fisetin. Fisetin also calmed their demeanor and they displayed much less behavior that was related to anxiety.
Best variety of foods fighting diabetes.
Cold Water Fish
As if getting Diabetes isn't hell enough, those that suffer this disease have doubled their chance to suffer from heart disease. That is why a diet rich in the Omega-3 amino acid, also known as 'the good fat' in cold water fish, can help reduce the levels of 'bad' cholesterol while raising the levels of 'good' cholesterol.
Cinnamon
A research in Maryland, at the Human Nutrition Institute, found that if you add just half a spoon of Cinnamon a day to your diet, your cells will gradually become more sensitive to insulin. This means that they will metabolize sugar into energy in a more efficient process, and so will control the blood sugar levels better.
Use it on your porridge, that is hot oats, millet, cornflour, tapioca or any other breakfast or supper porridge you love to eat. In enjoy it on my millet and cornflour porridge with some milk or yoghurt and honey. Yummy!!
Some people even put it on their jollof rice, go figure.
So splurge away.
We will continue with others in 2 days or 3.
Keep going, keep healthy, Keep consistent.
