3 MYSTERIOUS FOODS THAT HELP REGULATE YOUR BLOOD SUGAR
#3. Turmeric
This spice, frequently used in curry powders, has been utilized for generations to give a
lovely warm and bitter flavor to soups, stews, and meat dishes.
But only recently have people begun to really pay attention to the health benefits of turmeric.
So what's behind the nutritional power of this spice? CURCUMIN!
This compound is renowned for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
And multiple studies have revealed that turmeric and its supply of curcumin can improve
insulin sensitivity, allowing the body's cells to more effectively utilize glucose.
Meanwhile, a recent animal study revealed that regular consumption of turmeric extract
in type 2 diabetic mice significantly reduced blood glucose levels over a 4 week period.
And a separate animal study revealed that just 28 days of regular turmeric supplementation
can reverse hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. Curcumin has also been extensively researched for
its ability to prevent the development of diabetes by reducing pancreatic beta cell damage.
Other benefits of turmeric include... ...enhanced brain function, improved digestion,
decreased inflammation, increased liver health,
boosted immune system health, and improved metabolic health.
That makes turmeric one super spice!
But if you think it s the only mysterious diabetes-fighting spice,
think again! What other flavorful, spicy addition can you add to your dish for blood sugar balancing
benefits? Stay tuned for our #1 mysterious food. But now, let's get the lowdown on...
#2. Coconut
You might already be aware that coconut is considered a SUPERFOOD.
And it's really no secret why so many people are getting hyped up about this tropical treat.
Coconut is an excellent source of medium-chain triglycerides, or MCTs,
which are considered to be healthy fats.
Long-chain triglycerides, found in some less-than-healthy food products, are difficult
for the human body to break down, and they can lead to a build-up of arterial plaque. But MCTs
are easily digested and processed in the liver. This aids the body in burning fats more
efficiently and helps them to be utilized for energy, instead of being stored as fat.
In fact, studies show that the healthy medium-chain fatty acids within coconuts
and coconut oil, which include LAURIC ACID and CAPRIC ACID, have the ability to...
...decrease total cholesterol and unhealthy LDL cholesterol, increase healthy HDL cholesterol,
improve digestion, aid with weight loss, boost metabolic health,
and they can even help to heal infections.
Plus, MCTs will not create a negative impact on your blood sugar levels.
Meanwhile, raw coconut is also a good source of digestion-improving,
blood-sugar balancing dietary fiber. In fact, while a 100 gram serving of coconut does contain
15 grams of carbohydrates, it also supplies an impressive 9 grams of fiber.
So this naturally sweet snack can actually help to slow down the digestion of other
carb-rich foods, thus working to prevent post-meal blood sugar spikes.
Research has further demonstrated that coconut can improve the body's ability to use insulin.
And other studies have also shown that coconut can improve glucose tolerance,
which means that this fruit, and its oil, might even help prevent the onset of diabetes.
But you won't have to bite into a big chunk of raw coconut to gain its health
benefits. You can utilize coconut flour, coconut oil, coconut milk, and even coconut butter
for excellent lower-calorie, lower-fat alternatives to traditional cooking ingredients.
You can even add shredded coconut to a variety of savory dishes and
healthy dessert options for increased post-meal blood sugar balancing power.

#1. Saffron!
Originating in Greece, saffron is highly touted for its health and medical effects.
It can improve your memory, enhance your mood, and even strengthen your libido!
It's also got a ton of protective effects - all thanks to its powerful antioxidants,
including CROCIN, SAFRANAL, and KAEMPFEROL. These compounds have been shown to...
...aid weight loss, decrease inflammation, reduce appetite,
improve mood and brain health, and protect against cancerous oxidative stress.
So it's no wonder that a recent study showed that participants who consumed
15 milligrams of saffron daily for 8 weeks had significantly reduced fasting blood sugar levels!
Other studies also show that saffron has the ability to
improve glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity.
Plus, a recent animal study involving diabetic rats showed that regular saffron intake can
decrease blood glucose, blood lipids, triglycerides, and total cholesterol.
Scientists believe that saffron carries these anti-diabetes properties
due to its ability to reduce diabetes-related inflammatory pathways.
Other health benefits of saffron further include...
...reduced risk of heart disease, improved eye health, and even reduced PMS symptoms.
Saffron also has a very subtle flavor. This makes it very easy to add to a variety of dishes.
It's great in rice, risottos, meat marinades, and even paella.
Despite its slightly higher cost than other spices,
just a little pinch can go a very long way towards aiding your glucose control.
So explore the world of saffron!
