You can manage your diabetes if you manage your diet. Try eating low-carb superfoods dense in nutrition, healthy fats, and fiber.
Here are some suggested foods for individuals trying to manage their diets.
Fatty Cold-Water Fish Lowers Diabetic Risks
Eating fatty fish helps to lower many of the risks associated with diabetes, including heart attacks, stroke, joint pain, and fatigue. Cold water fish contains heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Good choices are salmon, sardines, tuna, and mackerel.
Lean High-Protein Meat Provides Energy
The human body digests lean meat slowly, which in turn helps people with diabetes to balance their blood sugar and feel satiated. The best sources include white meats, such as chicken and turkey. Lean steak is also high in protein and provides a full spectrum of blood-building B vitamins.
Omega-3 Eggs Prevents Fatigue
Omega-3 Eggs provide your brain and body with good fats and protein to stave off fatigue and foggy thinking. Egg yolks contain choline, a substance that naturally lowers blood sugar. However, don’t eat more than five eggs a week to avoid raising cholesterol levels.
Low-Carbohydrate Starches Lower Blood Sugar
The American Diabetic Association recommends that people with diabetes complement their meals with starches that contain complex carbohydrates. Try and include oats in your diet that have beta-glucans that lower blood sugar. People with diabetes can also consume wild rice, which is high in B vitamins and fiber. Lentils, which support friendly gut bacteria, have a minimal impact on blood sugar.
Greek Yogurt for Stamina
Greek yogurt contains carbohydrates and protein, which help control cravings and maintain blood sugar levels. Plus, the “friendly bacteria” helps to support gut health.
Complement Proteins With Good Carbs
Lean proteins go well with low-carb fruits and vegetables high in fat. Consider pairing avocados, olives, celery, and red onions with your meats, berries, apricots, and apples with Greek yogurt to create low-carb superfood meals.
