4 natural foods that help lower blood sugar naturally
1. Fenugreek Seeds:
Fenugreek seeds are a great source of soluble fiber, which can help control blood sugar levels. Many studies have shown that fenugreek can effectively lower blood sugar levels. It also helps reduce fasting glucose and improve glucose tolerance.
2. Berries or melon:
Did you know that 1 cup of either of these has just 15 grams of carbs? Blackberries are extremely rich in soluble fiber, a type of dietary fiber that can help keep your blood sugar in a healthy range. Plus they are delicious and contain massive amounts of healthy antioxidants.
3. Avocados:
Don't let the fat content of avocados fool you—they're still good for you! Avocados are full of monounsaturated fat, the kind that helps slow the release of sugars into the bloodstream, prompting less insulin release.
Just limit yourself to one-quarter of an avocado at a time to avoid calorie overload. Or, try avocado oil drizzled on a fresh salad or veggies.
4. Eggs:
A study published in 2008 in the International Journal of Obesity found overweight and obese people given two eggs a day for breakfast lost 65% more weight than those eating a similar breakfast without eggs.
The researchers said eating eggs may control hunger by reducing the post meal insulin response and control appetite by preventing large fluctuations in both glucose and insulin levels.
Studies also show that people who eat eggs for breakfast eat fewer calories for the next 36 hours.
