To properly understand what foods and nutrients would help to lower or normalize blood glucose levels, we have to correctly understand what that means. For someone with diabetes, it means that their body either doesn’t produce enough insulin, or can’t use the insulin it creates. This means that the body can’t correctly monitor and control the amount of sugar or glucose in the blood. High blood pressure can seriously damage organs and blood vessels, while low blood pressure can cause someone to faint, have a seizure, or get nauseous. Either way, it’s definitely something everyone would like to avoid, and for those with diabetes, that means a diet. On the bright side, people like MedicalCounsel.org have given great information on foods that help keep everything in check, so it doesn’t mean that you can’t eat well! Here are some natural foods and nutrients that help to normalize the blood glucose level.
Vegetables
When it comes to keeping blood sugar levels where they need to be, the key is staying healthy while trying to lower carb counts. Vegetables are pretty much the “poster boy” in this area of expertise. With an abundance of vitamins and minerals, vegetables are extremely nutritious, while keeping a very low carb and calorie count. Definitely one of the best things you can eat often to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
Whole Wheat Breads
Normal “white” breads have a lot of added sugars and are high in carbohydrates, which makes them a prime culprit for raising blood sugar levels, and fast. Wheat breads however, are low in carbs, and the fiber they contain helps to slow down digestion times and stabilize blood glucose levels.
Certain Spices
Spices often come from roots, or other plants, giving them similar properties to vegetables. These won’t be eaten in levels that really affect carb count much, but many are rich in nutrients. Specifically spices such as cinnamon and turmeric. Cinnamon can be a powerful antioxidant, and has been shown to help reduce blood glucose levels. Turmeric on the other hand, has circumin, which helps the health of vital organs, as well as can lower blood sugar levels, and help with inflammation.
Fish
Fish, specifically fatty or cold-water fish are one of the best foods to eat for diabetics. Fish and other meaty foods don’t have any carbohydrates, which makes them pretty much perfect for anyone with diabetes. Not to mention they also contain a lot of omega-3, and can help prevent the contraction of type-2 diabetes.
All in all, keeping blood sugar levels normal is largely about the food you eat, but in the end it’s all about being healthy. Making sure that you get proper exercise, sunlight, and drink lots of water also play huge roles in the normalization of blood glucose levels.
