People with diabetes should choose foods with a low GI index to control blood sugar, maintain health and prevent complications.

The GI (Glycemic Index) in food is a measure of the rate of increase in blood sugar (glucose) levels after eating foods containing carbohydrates.

Suggested foods with low GI that are good for health:

Grapefruit (GI = 25): Provides vitamin C, improves resistance. Grapefruit contains enzymes that help absorb sugar and reduce fat accumulation inside the body.

Fresh milk (GI = 40): One glass of fresh milk can help you control the activity of enzymes that form cholesterol and limit their production.

Soy milk (GI = 43): Contains amino acids that can maintain and strengthen the immune system. In addition, soy milk can also reduce cholesterol and patients' blood sugar levels.

Apricot juice (GI = 57): Converges components that can promote oxygen metabolism while slowing down aging and supporting cell recovery well.

Tomatoes (GI = 30): Balance blood sugar levels, and also have a very good weight loss effect.

Apple juice (GI = 15): Pectin - a form of soluble fiber will help the body retain the necessary amount of water while helping the intestines to be cleaned effectively. Digestion is also supported to take place better. In addition, they also help balance the microbiome inside the intestines and reduce the body's cholesterol.

Orange (GI = 43): Rich in vitamin C, calcium, P, K, citric acid carotene, fiber,... very good for metabolism and limiting the accumulation of toxins. Thanks to this, you will have a more effective weight loss regimen.

Peach (GI = 50): Contains a lot of fiber that can improve the digestive system, helping the stomach function more stably. In addition, they also help inhibit the absorption of harmful fats, maintaining weight stability.

Oatmeal porridge (GI = 50): Provides protein and good natural fiber to support the digestive system in the process of operating to achieve efficiency.

Kiwi (GI = 50): Contains 4g of fiber and a lot of vitamin C along with other beneficial minerals that are very good for controlling blood sugar levels for patients.

Bananas (GI = 55): Help burn fat and prevent carbohydrate absorption, supporting metabolism at a faster rate.
