According to Healthline, Diabetes is a medical condition in which the body's ability to regulate sugar production and maintainance declines due to insufficient insulin production, or inability of the cells to respond to the prompt directives of the hormone called insulin, which monitors the level of blood sugar, and prevent it from rising beyond proportion to avoid the occurrence of the medical condition.
Since the human body naturally grow old due to ageing process that occur in it, the ability to effectively regulate sugar is also affected by aging, but there are some foods that can assist your body at old age to prevent Diabetes because they contain organic chemicals that help the body cells in regulating the level of sugar in the blood. According to Healthline and WebMD, the foods are given below in details.
1. Flaxseeds
Among their many beneficial properties, flaxseeds are noted for their high fiber and healthy fat content. Particularly, flax seeds have been shown to lower blood sugar.
HbA1c levels were considerably reduced in an 8-week study of 57 people with type 2 diabetes who had 7 ounces (200 grams) of 2.5% fat yogurt with 1 ounce (30 grams) of flax seeds daily, compared to plain yogurt.
In addition, a meta-analysis of 25 studies found that eating whole flax seeds greatly improved blood sugar control.
2. Chia seeds
Chia seed use may aid in controlling blood sugar levels. Studies have linked chia seed consumption with improved insulin sensitivity and reduced blood sugar levels.
3. Berry Fruit
Several studies have found that eating berries helps keep blood sugar levels stable. Berries are rich in fiber, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, making them a healthy option for those who struggle to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
People with prediabetes who ate 2 cups (250 grams) of red raspberries with their high-carb dinner had considerably lower post-meal insulin and blood sugar levels compared to a control group.
4. Fatty fish
Whether or whether you have diabetes, fatty fish should be a regular part of your diet. You'll reap many benefits from eating this cuisine, which is among the healthiest options out there. DHA and EPA, two omega-3 fatty acids found in abundance in fatty fish such as salmon & anchovies, can protect your heart against diabetes-related complications.
5. Eggs and nuts
Other fatty foods that help regulate blood sugar and treat diabetes include nuts and eggs. Since nuts are abundant in fiber and most of them have few digestible carbohydrates, they won't raise your blood sugar. Some nut species, however, have a very high concentration of easily absorbed carbs, so it's important to choose carefully. The best kinds of nuts for diabetes include almonds, Brazil nuts, & cashews.
