Many international nutritionists recommend supplementing foods rich in omega-3 and vitamins as part of a diet to support blood sugar control. Although they cannot replace drugs or treatment regimens, these food groups have been shown to have a positive impact on sugar metabolism and cardiovascular health.
According to experts at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, omega-3s from salmon, mackerel, sardines or flaxseeds can help reduce inflammation throughout the body, a factor related to insulin resistance. When the body reacts to insulin more effectively, blood sugar levels tend to be more stable. In addition, omega-3 also helps improve blood lipids, reducing the risk of heart disease, a common complication in people with blood sugar disorder.
Meanwhile, reports from the British Nutrition Foundation show that B vitamins, vitamin D and vitamin C contribute to energy metabolism, support pancreas function and increase resistance. A diet rich in vitamins helps the body respond more flexibly to blood sugar fluctuations, the report stated.
Dishes that combine omega-3 and vitamins are also easy to prepare, suitable for many age groups. Some popular suggestions include:
Pan-fried salmon salad with green vegetables, tomatoes and fresh lemons.
Chia seed oatmeal porridge with blueberries or strawberries - a natural source of vitamin C.
Grilled mackerel with steamed vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes.
unsweetened yogurt mixes walnuts and kiwi.
Nutritionists from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) emphasize that foods rich in omega-3 and vitamins " bring benefits when used properly, while people still need to maintain physical activity and have regular check-ups".
Although diet cannot replace medical treatment, prioritizing natural, low-processed, and nutrient-rich foods is a sustainable step to help the body control blood sugar and reduce the risk of chronic diseases in the long term.
