Top 10 Superfoods for Diabetes

Certain Superfoods can help you manage your diabetes and lower your blood sugar levels.

And, Superfoods are foods that offer maximum nutritional benefits for minimal calories.

They are also called high nutrient-dense foods.

They are full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and are known to lower your blood sugar levels.

Let’ see what types of Superfoods are good for your Diabetes and can help you manage it.

Oats

Oats, as superfoods, are a great source of fiber, and the low glycemic index makes them an excellent choice for diabetics.
You can also use oatmeal to make healthy snacks like granola or cereal.

Oats are nutrient-dense foods that contain antioxidants, vitamins A, C and E as well as folate (Vitamin B9).

They’re also rich in potassium; one serving contains 2 grams per cup!

Barley

Barley is a whole grain, and it’s high in fiber. It also has a low glycemic index, making it very nutritious for people with diabetes.

Barley contains the following nutrients:

• Fiber — This type of carbohydrate slows down the rate of digestion, which can help stabilise blood sugar levels over time.
• B vitamins — play an important role in cell growth and function.
• Manganese — helps regulate blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Flaxseed

Flaxseed is an excellent source of fiber and other nutrients that help lower blood glucose levels.

It’s also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce triglycerides (a type of fat) and raise good cholesterol levels.

Beans

Beans are a great source of protein, fiber and antioxidants. They’re also rich in minerals like iron and magnesium, vitamins such as vitamin B6 that help regulate blood sugar levels.

Beans are super easy to digest so they won’t cause bloating or gas when you eat them if you’re sensitive to gluten or dairy products.

Chickpeas

Chickpeas are a great source of protein and fiber. They’re also loaded with other nutrients that can help you manage your diabetes—including magnesium, potassium and iron.

Chickpeas is recognised as one of the healthiest foods on earth, thanks to their high levels of antioxidants called phytochemicals which may prevent your cancer development.

Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are a good source of fiber, vitamin A and C, and potassium.

They’re also low in sodium and fat; they have only about 90 calories per 1/2 cup serving (about 2 medium-sized potatoes).

Quinoa

Quinoa is a complete protein, meaning it contains all of the essential amino acids that your body needs to build and repair tissue.

It’s also high in fiber, which helps you feel fuller longer and can help keep blood sugar levels stable.

Quinoa is an excellent source of magnesium and phosphorus—two minerals that play important roles in stabilising blood sugar levels while helping maintain bone health.

Magnesium has been shown to lower insulin resistance while regulating carbohydrate metabolism.

Berries

Berries are a great source of fiber and antioxidants, which help keep your blood glucose levels under control.

They’re also a good source of vitamin C, which helps keep your body’s cells healthy by reducing inflammation and supporting the immune system.

Berries don’t raise your blood sugar levels as much as other foods do. This makes them ideal for diabetics who need to keep their insulin production stable at all times throughout the day.

Apples

Apples are a good source of fiber, which can help lower blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of carbohydrates into your bloodstream.

They’re also rich in vitamin C, which may reduce inflammation and pain associated with diabetes.

The fruit also contains pectin—a soluble fiber that helps reduce cholesterol levels and regulates blood sugar levels by making you feel full faster after eating it.

Apples have antioxidant properties that may protect you against age-related diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

Okra

Okra is a good source of vitamins A, C and K. It also contains potassium, calcium and magnesium along with iron.

Okra is low in calories but rich in fiber so it’s an excellent choice for people looking to lose weight by eating less food but still getting all their daily nutrients through a variety of foods.
