“Banned Food” STOPS Diabetes
If you have type 2 diabetes, you’re probably confused over what’s ok to eat and what’s not.
Some things are obvious (yes to vegetables, no to cake), but others aren’t so straight forward.
Take fruit, for example.
A lot of my diabetic patients think they can’t have fruit because it’s high in sugar.
But a recent study revealed that there’sONE KEY fruit diabetics should be eating EVERY DAY.
Why? It can actually LOWER dangerous after-meal spikes in blood sugar.
After-meal (post-prandial) spikes in blood sugar are especially dangerous for people with type 2 diabetes.
You see, when glucose and insulin flood your bloodstream, it can cause the kind of permanent damage that increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, and dementia.
This can happen whether you’re diabetic or not, but it’s even more critical for those with the condition.
But it turns out that one particular fruit can help prevent those dangerous spikes: raspberries.
Past studies have shown these benefits in non-diabetics, but the latest study published in Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism shows its benefits for type 2 diabetics as well.
The results showed that eating raspberries was not only NOT bad for blood sugar levels – but that it dramatically reduced harmful after-meal blood sugar spikes in people with type 2 diabetes.
PLUS, it had powerful anti-inflammatory effects.
In addition to helping regulate your blood sugar levels, raspberries are loaded with compounds that have been shown to improve your memory, protect your heart, and help prevent cancer.
If you’re a diabetic with a sweet tooth that just won’t quit, skip the cake and grab a handful (or two) of raspberries – 100% guilt free.
