diabetes This is not just another list of foods for

all of them made it through ok once they've learned this secret
Hello how are your kidneys doing? this is Katherine welcome to 00Kidney - don't forget
to like and subscribe! Let's talk about diabetes
One in three Americans has prediabetes One in three This is a condition with a 70%
possibility of developing into diabetes Diabetes is the main cause of chronic kidney
disease and it doubles the risk of heart attack It accelerates aging can cause cancer and
it damages the whole cardiovascular system It causes more than 250000 deaths every year
in the US Diabetes medications are becoming so expensive
that people are actually choosing to face the terrifying outcomes of the illness like
leg and foot amputations nerve damage and blindness instead of buying the metformin
they need Or maybe because they cannot afford their insulin anymore
The only good news here is that our choice of foods can prevent insulin resistance and
greatly reduce blood sugar levels This means that the right diet can even reverse this
terrible illness This has been proven and some people are already
doing it Today I'll show you how to use these 5 superfoods
to start reversing diabetes Let's start with the list
Number 5 Fatty fish is probably the best food in the world for your health
Herring salmon mackerel sardines anchovies are the best sources of high quality proteins
and omega-3 fatty acids The benefits for your health these powerhouse
foods provide are astounding especially for diabetics
High quality proteins will help you to feel full for a long time and will improve your
metabolism Omega-3s will reduce inflammation and cardiovascular
risks critical for diabetics They also have properties useful for our skin
bones eyes ad nerves But there's more: a recent study found out
that replacing carbohydrates and saturated fats with poly-unsaturated fats like those
present in fatty fish can improve blood glucose levels insulin secretion and actually decrease
insulin resistance This is why the American diabetes association recommends eating fatty
fish at least two times per week Number 4 Coffee Yes as strange as it may seem
coffee has been proven to lower the risk for type 2 diabetes and to improve insulin sensitivity
But how does it work? Coffee was once considered something bad for your health something to
avoid Now there are studies and evidence proving that it can actually control blood sugar levels
and fight diabetes A study shown that people who increased their
coffee intake by over one cup per day had an 11 percent lower risk of developing type
2 diabetes People who reduced their coffee intake by
one cup per day increased their risk of developing diabetes by 17 percent
This study was published by the Harvard University and was conducted on over 100000 people for
about 20 years These are pretty big numbers proving that these findings should be considered
reputable What's still not clear is the reason behind
these results It's not caffeine since it has shown negative short term effects on both
insulin levels and glucose levels But there's a lot more in coffee than caffeine
and some of the compounds present in it may be changing our sensitivity towards glucose
and insulin My advice? Keep drinking coffee if you already
do but do not exceed the recommended maximum caffeine intake of 400 milligrams a day or
about 4 cups of coffee Number 3 Cinnamon Mainly used as an aromatic
condiment cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of the trees from the genus
Cinnamomum It is interesting for us because it has the
remarkable ability to improve sensitivity to insulin while
lowering blood sugar levels Several studies have linked cinnamon to better
blood sugar levels It basically lower insulin resistance
In particular there's a study showing that the consumption of 1 to 6 grams of cinnamon
for 40 days cut blood sugar levels by 24% and cholesterol by 18%
Another study proved that the consumption of cinnamon causes a significant decrease
in plasma glucose levels triglyceride levels and LDL cholesterol
How to get the best from cinnamon? Add one teaspoon to main dishes and soup or use it
to make tea Cinnamon is safe for diabetics people up to
6 grams a day It's not recommended for people with liver damage
And while cinnamon won't reverse your type 2 diabetes alone for sure it can help
Number 2 Beans Beans are one of the best superfoods available
to diabetics They are also the best carbohydrate source to fight insulin spikes and manage
blood sugar levels How? Beans are not just rich in fibers and proteins They provide a
large quantity of resistant starches molecules that can go through the digestive tract without
being broken down just like soluble fibers When resistant starches reach the colon the
bacteria will ferment them forming products with several health benefits
They reduce appetite improve digestion and protect from cancer
But most importantly they have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood
sugar levels Beans are also very low on the glycemic index
They should be the preferred choice of carbohydrates for diabetics
number 1 Leafy Greens are one of the best weapon in our arsenal to fight diabetes
They are not just packed in the healthiest vitamins and minerals including vitamins A
C E K calcium iron and potassium Leafy greens are also very low in calories
and carbohydrates making them ideal to keep blood sugar under control and to avoid insulin
spikes They also can make you feel full without ingesting
many calories and this can help making a low calories diet work
Greens like collards cabbage spinach kale are a must in a well planned low calories
diet to reverse diabetes Why am I talking about low calories diets?
Because they have been proven capable of reversing type 2 diabetes
There are actually several studies proving that a low calories diet is probably the best
way to reverse type 2 diabetes In two studies it took just 2 to 5 months
to half of the participants to reverse their diabetes
Again these were studies done in controlled clinical settings and half the people who
took part completely reversed their diabetes Ok there's a caveat The diet the participants
had to follow were most liquid providing about 600 to 800 calories a day
This kind of diet is extreme and needs the supervision of a professional to be safe
But if there's a chance this high of reversing type 2 diabetes it may be worth the effort
Participants of the study were able to keep their blood glucose in the normal range for
the following year adopting a less restrictive diet after completing the study
People more likely to succeed in reversing type 2 diabetes were those who had it for
less time This means that it is very important to start working on a solution immediately
when diagnosed Another thing that can really help is physical
activity A different study saw people following a less
strict diet still being able to go into remission thanks to a big step-up in calories burning
Participants started doing at least 10000 steps a day and 2 and a half hours of moderate
physical exercise every week This combined with a specific medication routine
saw people being able to keep long term normal blood sugar levels after the study was over
Without any more need for medications And if you only have prediabetes or if you
had diabetes only for a few years and never needed insulin it will be a lot easier for
you to reverse diabetes I know that both these regimens are hard and
not always suitable for everyone The point here is that any step in the right
direction can help And I think that it is very important to let
people know that there is a way out of this terrible illness This is all for today! If
