By Anthony Riedel


The foods that you eat should be carefully considered when you suffer with diabetes every single day No doubt, your doctor has given you guidelines about which foods to avoid or limit. However, you may not be aware of all the superfoods that can help you control your blood sugar and feel better. We wrote this article to provide you with information in regard to superfoods that can help you feel better, regulate your blood sugar, and much more.

Not all superfoods are exotic -one type that you're surely familiar with are beans. Beans, which contain lots of protein and fiber, can be easily incorporated into many meals. In certain studies it was proven that if people eat enough beans, they don't require as much insulin to treat their diabetes. Beans, of course, are not just one food but a whole category that includes dozens of types. They can also be prepared in many different types of dishes. Lentils are rich in fiber and protein and can be prepared in lots of ways. Aside from lentil soup, this bean is used in many Middle Eastern recipes. If you like Mexican food, many of these dishes call for black or brown refried beans. If you find it too time consuming to prepare beans from scratch, you can get them in cans.

An excellent food to eat on a regular basis is oatmeal, mainly because of recently discovered health benefits that are attributed to this breakfast food. It can help stabilize glucose, lower cholesterol, and even lower your blood pressure to some degree. Acai berry is another superfood that you can incorporate in your diet because of its numerous beneficial antioxidants.

You can get vitamins E. and B., as well as magnesium and potassium, with every bowl that you eat. Anyone with diabetes should eat steel cut oats which have a low GI which is perfect for your condition. Diabetics who want to control their blood sugar can really benefit from these oats. Having a bowl of oatmeal every morning is a healthy way to start your day.

Tea is a very potent superfood that has a wide range of benefits. The main types of tea are green, black and white and all of them are very healthy when consumed regularly. Most people, when they think of tea, think of black or green but the kind that's the healthiest is actually white. White tea doesn't come from a different plant from other kinds, but a different part of the plant is used -the fuzzy white buds. You can still get many health benefits from black or green tea, of course, but white is another type worth trying. Tea can help maintain your blood sugar, but this will be less the case if you add a large amount of sugar to it. You could add a little honey or a natural sweetener such as agave nectar.

Diabetes is a disease that is strongly linked to diet, which is why superfoods can be so useful for controlling your symptoms. There are also other aspects of your life that should be managed, in addition to your diet. Exercise can also help you stay healthy, and it's also important to avoid stress. Your doctor can help you keep track of the progress you're making and you may still need certain medications. Adding more superfoods to your diet is a step that can help you enjoy better health.
