What to eat and what not to eat in diabetes? These 5 desi superfoods have changed the sugar level of thousands, try them today itself.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Due to today’s busy life and spoiled eating habits, diabetes has become a disease which is knocking in every house. When someone comes to know that his sugar has increased, the first thing that comes to his mind is, will I ever be able to eat the food of my choice?” Often people think that diabetes means a dull and tasteless life. But believe me, nature has hidden many such treasures in our kitchen itself which can keep your blood sugar under control without any side-effects.

Let us today, without any heavy medical terminology, understand about those ‘superfoods’ which are no less than a boon for diabetes patients.

1. Fenugreek seeds: a sure enemy of sugar
You must have often seen elders eating soaked fenugreek on an empty stomach in the morning. Fenugreek seeds contain a fiber called ‘galactomannan’, which reduces the speed of absorption of sugar in the blood. If you soak one spoon of fenugreek seeds in water every night and drink that water in the morning and chew the seeds, then within a few days you will feel the difference in your sugar report.

2. Cinnamon: The Hidden Diamond of the Spice Box
Cinnamon not only enhances the taste of food, but it also improves the sensitivity of ‘insulin’ in the body. This enables your cells to use sugar from the blood better. Adding a pinch of cinnamon powder to your tea, milk or curd can be a very wise move.

3. Jamun and its seeds: A unique gift of nature
We all eat blackberries with gusto, but do you know that its seeds can be more effective than the fruit? If jamun seed powder is taken regularly, it helps in activating the pancreas. It contains ‘Jamboline’, which prevents starch from converting into sugar.

4. Bitter gourd: It is bitter but good for health.
Yes, you were shocked to hear the name, right? But bitter gourd is one of the few that contains ‘Polypeptide-p’, which is also known as ‘plant insulin’. Drinking half a glass of bitter gourd juice in the morning may be a little difficult in the beginning, but there is no better medicine than this to control your increased sugar.

5. Fiber-rich green vegetables and nuts
Vegetables like spinach, broccoli and beans are not only filling, but they are very low in carbohydrates. If we talk about nuts, then almonds and walnuts keep your hunger calm and provide ‘healthy fats’ to the body which do not increase the sugar level suddenly.

A little advice from me:
All these superfoods are very beneficial, but they are not a substitute for the medicines prescribed by your doctor. Make these a part of your diet, walk a little and drink plenty of water. Even a small change paves the way for big relief. Taking care of your health is now your responsibility!
