Today, we'll discuss some "superfoods" that are particularly beneficial for diabetics. It is estimated that more than 32 percent of the US population suffers from diabetes. When discussing blood sugar levels, your diet is crucial when dealing with this disease.

The vast majority of people with diabetes have type 2. This type is characterized by an inability to effectively utilize insulin. However, blood sugar levels can be managed naturally with the help of exercise and diet, but often medication or insulin is also required.

Although both forms of diabetes (type 1 and type 2) can be managed with medication, today's video will provide you with a list of foods that can aid your body in its fight against the disease.

️ Summary:
Avocados.

Avocado might be a healthy option for people with diabetes. They're filling, and they have good, healthy fats. Avocados may aid weight loss, cholesterol reduction, and insulin sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes. Avocados not only have a high vitamin E content, but they are also loaded with monounsaturated fats, which are good for your heart.

Diets high in monounsaturated fats and low in starchy carbohydrates are recommended for people with type 2 diabetes because they improve insulin sensitivity. Avocados have little impact on blood sugar because they contain few carbohydrates.

Eggs

Eggs are safe for people with type 2 diabetes to eat. Eggs have been shown to have no negative effects on blood sugar levels or cardiovascular health when consumed as part of a healthy diet.

We're not advocating a daily egg load, but eggs have many positive health effects and can be enjoyed in moderation. One egg contains 6 grams of protein, the eye-healthy antioxidant lutein, and the memory-enhancing nutrient choline.

Legumes and Beans.

If you want to eat more beans and legumes, there are countless delicious and easy recipes you can try. When we say "beans," we could mean anything from kidney beans to legumes like chickpeas or lentils; the term "beans" covers a wide range of foods. Plenty of options exist.

We highly recommend lentils. Vitamins and minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium are abundant in them. They are also a good source of fiber. Also, a long list of studies has linked a diet high in legumes in general to lower blood sugar levels.

Kidney beans were found in one study to prevent a post meal spike in blood sugar.

Dark Chocolate.

Dark chocolate (with a cocoa content of 70 percent or higher) has beneficial effects on cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure when consumed in moderation. The sugar content is lower, and the antioxidant content of this dark chocolate is higher. It's still chocolate, so moderation is key due to the calorie and fat content; however, treating yourself to a small amount now and then can be beneficial for your health and your taste buds.

Blueberries.

In addition to tasting great, blueberries have many health benefits. The antioxidants that give these berries their gorgeous blue or nearly purple hue also aid the body in protecting itself from cell damage, reducing the likelihood that cancer will develop. They also pack a powerful nutritional and phytonutrient punch. Some of the phytonutrients may improve insulin sensitivity and lower intestinal glucose absorption.

Dark Leafy Greens

Dark leafy greens, such as kale, spinach, collards, and leafy vegetables, are excellent for your health and are packed with vitamins A, C, E, and K. Additionally, they contain beneficial amounts of iron, calcium, and potassium. The benefits of potassium for those with diabetes include better control of blood pressure. They have few calories and carbs, making them safe for diabetics to eat in large quantities without worrying about a rise in blood sugar.

Oatmeal.

Even if oatmeal isn't your typical breakfast, jazzing it up with some wholesome add-ins like blueberries and nuts can make it a welcome addition to your morning routine.
