Foods for Diabetes |
Type 2 diabetics
These are both healthy,beneficial and of course perfect for people with both types of Diabetes.Before we get started,I just wanted to share a quick little tip for you who are just starting out with healthy eating and different,and that have a hard time getting rid of all the carbohydrates.A great thing with protein and fat is that is slow down the conversion from food to blood sugar,which means if you're still eating carbohydrates-even though I recommend trying to get rid of as much as possible.
Function of protein
you can add fat and protein to your meal to slow down the absorption of the carbohydrates,which means you will not get as strong peak in the blood sugar as you would have with the carbohydrates alone.Foods List
Now,that a day,it still affects your blood sugar but just for you who hasn't started out or have a 100% commitment.it's step in the right direction.Now,Let's look at those top 10 healthiest that does not affect the blood sugar.Bare in mind that this list of foods has no specific order and the first or last one doesn't mean they're the best or healthiest.1; Onion and Garlic
Are very healthy and beneficial and is actually the food that has less pesticides and chemicals of the conventional food(if you feel that organic is too expensive)which makes it cheaper and easier to buy since it's not that big difference between the organic ones.So eating garlic is really awesome for TONS of stuff.It helps for example with:
High cholesterol
Diabetes & Blood Sugar
Yeast Infections
Boost Immune System
Increase absorption of Iron & Zone
Antioxidants
Cold & Flu
Anti Fungal
Allergies
Onions are a very good source of vitamin C, B6, Biotin, Chromium ,Calcium and Dietary Fiver.In addition they contain good amounts of Folic Acid and Vitamin B and K.It's also great help fo the liver.
2-Leafy Greens
This is the most important part of my meals Leafy greens are so healthy,full of micronutrious like vitamins and minerals,are very benefits for the body in so many ways and they are alkaline which supports a tremendous amount of health.This is just pure super food with no effect on the blood sugar.
3-Fatty Seeds
Healthy seeds full of healthy fats like flax seeds,pumpkins seeds,sunflower,seeds,chia seeds and alfalfa seeds are super healthy and very high in fat and protein and have either no carbs or low amount and almost exclusively all of those carbs are dietary fiber.
4-Avocado
This is truly my candy throughout the day! It's delicious can be used in many ways and easy to prepare and eat,have as snack or whatever you want.Avocado is full of healthy vitamin and minerals as well and also have a great amount of the healthy fatty acids Omega 3 and 6.It's full of Vitamin A.C,E,K,B6,Folate and it's also anti-inflammatory.
5-Coconut
Coconut,if you eat the raw meat,coco flakes or the coconut oil,you will not have to worry about your blood sugar since Coconut has high amount of fat and most of the carbs are dietary fiber and has basically no Glycemic at all.I always use coconut oil if i cook something (which is very carefully) and i also just eat it as it isor use it for baking raw deserts of some sort.
6-Nuts
Nuts like walnuts,hazelnuts,peanuts or almonds are super high in healthy fats and proteins as well,barely any carb(which again is just dietary fiber) and is very anti-inflammatory.Short said: Nuts are healthy,great snacks that doesn't mess with your blood sugar:Just be little more careful with the cashew as they tend to have more carbs but again,it's nothing like a glass of juice or a snickers bar but i've seen a little raise in my blood sugar with cashew when i really go nuts and eat like 100-200 grams of it.Which makes sense since the Glycemic load is 11 per 100 gram and over 15 it is classified as affecting the blood sugar so ti's close but the other ones are no problem.
7-Herbs
Basi,cilntro,oregano,mint,lemon balm and so on are very good because they have basically no macronutrients.which is the proteins.,the fat and the carbs,but instead a lot of vitamins and minerals so they have no effect on the blood sugar but gives great taste to food and have healthy vitamins and minerals and a lot of cleansing and healing properties.Make sure they are organic and fresh or do as i do,plant your own!
8-Eggs
A great source of the very essential vitamin B12 and good amount of protein and fat.No effect on the blood sugar and a great way to start the day and they're easy to cook and cheap as well.What not to love? just be careful nt to eat too much since eggs are dairy product which makes our body acids so compensate with an avocado and some salad to it,that's what,I do for breakfast and I love it!
9-Butter & Cheese
Again,this is top 10 foods that doesn't affect the blood sugar and even thought you might know promote a very high alkaline diet for some people or in some times,you hae to use some dairy products and that's ok, as long as it's not more than the alkanline food and not too often.So here goes number 9 which is Butter and Cheese.
10-Oils
Oils are 100% fat and you got to be ver delicate and careful with what you choose.I only use organic coconut oil,organic coild pressed extra virgin oliveoili or organic hemp oil.I always make sure that is's organic,high quality and nothing bogus in it because using normal conventional sunflower oil,or palm oil and all those other mixes are just pure crap and bottles of chemicals shit storm,frankly speaking.
