colorful berries and vegetables
Berries such as blueberries, along with purple foods such as black rice and purple cabbage, are colorful thanks to compounds called anthocyanins. This compound not only fights oxidative stress but also improves insulin sensitivity and maintains stable blood sugar levels.
Mix berries in the breakfast oatmeal, add red cabbage to the salad.
Garlic and onions
Garlic and onions are rich in the compound allium, which helps reduce inflammation and regulate blood sugar levels. In particular, garlic helps lower blood sugar.
Carrots, pumpkin and spinach
Brilliant vegetables such as carrots, pumpkin and spinach are rich in beta-carotene. These vegetables support insulin function and fight oxidative stress.
Nuts
Zinc and manganese are minerals that act as a natural shield to protect the body. Zinc helps produce and release insulin, while manganese protects pancreatic cells, which help control blood sugar levels. Foods such as almonds, cashews, and pumpkin seeds are rich in these minerals.
