How to prepare radish to help lower blood sugar

Kiều Vũ (Theo Diabetes & Metabolism) |

Many people use radishes to lower blood sugar levels. But to be effective, they need to be prepared properly.

Radishes are rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, fiber, potassium and antioxidants, which help reduce inflammation, improve digestion and especially control blood sugar levels. Preparing radishes properly will help maximize their hypoglycemic effects.

Several studies have shown that radishes can improve blood sugar levels, especially in people with diabetes. According to a study published in Diabetes & Metabolism, consuming radishes can help reduce blood sugar levels thanks to their high fiber content, which slows the absorption of sugar in the body. The fiber in radishes helps maintain stable blood sugar levels by increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin.

To get the most out of radishes for blood sugar control, light cooking methods such as steaming or boiling are the best options. Overcooking radishes or cooking them at too high a temperature can reduce the vitamin content and beneficial nutrients. Research shows that simple cooking methods such as steaming or boiling radishes help preserve antioxidants such as glucosinolates, which help regulate blood sugar and prevent diabetes complications.

Furthermore, processing radishes with other foods such as garlic, ginger or olive oil can also enhance the effect of reducing blood sugar. Garlic and ginger both have anti-inflammatory properties and help improve the body's sensitivity to insulin, combined with radishes will create a nutritious dish, beneficial for diabetics.

However, maintaining a healthy diet and incorporating regular exercise is still important for effective blood sugar management. Radishes, with the right preparation methods, can be a useful part of a diabetic diet, helping to control blood sugar levels over the long term.
