10 foods to improve your diabetes wellness

I have never suffered from this disease, however, some of my relatives, upon discovering this diagnosis, began to panic and revise their diet. A diabetic friend of mine began to look much better and stay more cheerful, which seemed strange to me. I know for sure that he does not drink alcohol, I even thought that he managed to get a rare drug, but the matter turned out to be in proper nutrition and in the list of products that the local therapist suggested to him. Here are some foods that have helped him improve his own well-being.

1 - Fatty red fish

It contains beneficial acids, such as omega-3, which helped my friend feel better. Once every two weeks, he allows himself red fish such as salmon, while eating it very carefully so that it lasts for a long time, and if there is not enough money, he buys herring and sardine. I myself have heard that these products help diabetics prevent the development of heart attacks and strokes.

2 - Cinnamon

I myself did not know that it lowers blood sugar levels, which is very important for diabetics. I read that doctors have conducted more than 10 studies proving that this product lowers the formation of bad cholesterol.

3 - Greek yogurt

As it turned out, for my friend, he became a full-fledged replacement for sour cream and other fatty dairy products. I learned that this product contains less starch than other products, and it also reduces the excess weight in type 2 diabetes.

4 - Flaxseed

I read that for those who suffer from diabetes, flax seeds are especially useful, since they contain special compounds - lignans. Those who took flaxseed foods not only normalized blood glucose levels, but also better felt due to the increase in hemoglobin, so diabetics, in my opinion, should not be affected by them refuse.

5 - Broccoli

A friend of mine always keeps it on the table and uses it not only because it lowers blood sugar and contains only 57 calories in 100 grams, but also because broccoli kills free radicals and improves vision, which can be impaired in diabetes, protecting the eyes from damage associated with it disease.

6 - Nuts

I read that they are considered the safest carbohydrates for people with diabetes and modern research confirms this. As it turned out, those who regularly ate almonds, cashews, walnuts felt better thanks to the stabilization of sugar and cholesterol levels. In addition, nuts contributed to the prevention of such a dangerous disease as obesity, which develops in diabetes.

7 - turmeric (curry)

A friend of mine, suffering from diabetes, constantly adds it to soups, sauces, pilaf, which he himself prepares, but not only because he likes turmeric. People with diabetes are prone to kidney disease, which curry can help prevent.

8 - leafy greens

Recently I learned that it is especially useful for people with diabetes, as it treats inflammatory diseases, because with diabetes, wounds heal much longer, more painful and with complications. In addition, greens help prevent visual impairments that are common in those who suffer from impaired insulin production in the body.

9 - eggs

I know that many diabetics do not eat this product, as they believe that it provokes the production of cholesterol, but, as modern research shows, eggs are good for diabetics, but only high quality and fresh. They allow you to get rid of vision problems, stop the development of diabetic cataracts.

10 - cranberries

Diabetics often suffer from inflammatory diseases, but cranberry is considered a useful product for them, which cleanses the blood, improves hemoglobin levels and helps to improve well-being.
