5 Foods That Can Halt Diabetes

It's no secret that diabetes is becoming more commonplace in our society. If you've been diagnosed with diabetes, you may be wondering about the efficacy and side effects of insulin, and if there are any natural foods that can help you control blood sugar.

​

Type 2 diabetes affects the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels. Every cell in your body depends on a constant supply of a sugar called glucose. Your body is very efficient in converting certain foods into glucose. However, if you've been diagnosed with diabetes, your cells may have a hard time absorbing this sugar.

​

That's where insulin comes in. Insulin shuttles the simple sugars in your blood stream throughout the body, ensuring that each cell is nourished. However, ingesting foods that help your body do this naturally can minimize the number of pinpricks and injections you'll need.

​

Keeping your blood sugar on an even keel can prevent the more serious effects of diabetes, such as kidney damage, slow-healing, and loss of vision.

​

These foods can help you control your blood sugar:

​

1. Cinnamon. Cinnamon is an aromatic spice that's derived from the bark of trees in the Cinnamomum family. Instantly recognizable for its rich, almost sweet flavor, cinnamon is a popular holiday spice. 

•In people with diabetes, cinnamon has been found to be a powerful blood sugar regulator.

• According to the American Diabetes Association, cinnamon lowers overall blood sugar after 40 days of consecutive consumption. An easy way to incorporate cinnamon into your diet is to add it to coffee. As a bonus, you may find that you rely less on artificial sugars.

• Another way to add this spice to your diet is to sprinkle it over oatmeal. If you chew sugar-free gum, reach for the cinnamon variety. Additionally, a study from Wheeling Jesuit University found that cinnamon also strengthens memory.

​

2. Ginseng. According to the eCAM study, "Ginseng on Hyperglycemia: Effects and Mechanisms," ginseng lowers fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels.

• Researchers aren't entirely sure how this works, but many experts believe that ginseng protects pancreatic beta-cells.

• You can add ginseng to tea, and it's available in chewing gum and nutritional supplements. Ginseng is also a blood thinner, so be careful if you're on blood-thinning medications.

​

3. Broccoli. Often touted as a "super food," broccoli contains more chromium than any other easily obtainable vegetable.

• Several studies have demonstrated that chromium stabilizes blood sugar. A single serving of broccoli contains 53% of the Dietary Reference Intake for the mineral.

​

4. Oatmeal. Fiber helps to stabilize blood sugar, and oatmeal is full of fiber.

• A cup of whole oats will provide you with 16 grams of life-sustaining fiber. Additionally, fiber is high in magnesium, which is important for sleep quality and nervous system function.

​

5. Peanuts. The Harvard School of Public Health has demonstrated that a few peanuts or a spoonful of peanut butter in the morning can help control blood sugar.

• Peanuts have a glycemic index score of 14. Peanuts release their sugar content into the body slowly, which keeps you full and may prevent cravings for sugary foods.

Incorporating these foods into your diet today could mean relying less on insulin tomorrow. But remember to consult your doctor before making any major changes in diet. Also, be aware of the potential for allergies to foods you haven't tried before. If you plan to add many new foods to your diet, it's a good idea to do so one at a time.

Paying Attention to Your Body's Signals for Optimal Health

Your body is a marvelous creation! It speaks to you when it's doing great, and it also speaks to you when things aren't so wonderful. 

​

But that's the beauty of it - your body gives a ton of signals to let you know it's in need of something so you can do what's necessary to achieve optimal health.

​

Use these strategies to tune in to what your body is telling you:

​

1. Assess how you feel each morning. The early morning hours are usually ideal for you to listen for your body's signals. At that time of day, it's usually very quiet, so you can pay closer attention to the physical signals. Each morning, determine whether you feel different from the morning before.

​

* Determine if you experience any new aches when getting out of bed.

​

* Figure out if you wake up feeling lousy, even after a sound night's sleep.

​

* See if you wake up with any ailments that you didn't go to sleep with.

​

2. Compare the effects of different food choices. As you go through the motions day by day, it's sometimes tough to maintain proper nutrition. 

​

Especially if you're always on the go, you may end up making some poor food choices. As you do that, however, it's important to see what kind of impact your food choices have on your body.

​

• How effective are you in the gym after you've spent a day eating junk food?

​

• Does your mind function better and do you have more energy when you eat vitamin-rich foods?

​

3. Get regular checkups. Even if you haven't seen or felt anything to worry about, it's important to get regular checkups at the doctor just to make sure everything is intact.

​

• If you're about to embark upon a stressful month at work, now would be a great time to get a checkup.

​

• Put a routine in place for doing checkups and stick to it.

​

4. Know your body's physical capabilities. Although you may consider yourself healthy and in good shape overall, there's just so much the body can manage. Whether it's exercise or mental work at the office, it's important to know your limits so you don't end up burned out and physically exhausted.

​

• It's okay to work out until your muscles feel worn, but you'll know if you've overdone it if the recovery time is longer than you expect.

​

• The same goes for mental exhaustion. You'll feel like you're coping through the long, stressful hours at work until you realize you're motionless in bed when you should be up getting ready for work!

​

Remember that you rely heavily on your body to take you through the ins and outs of daily life, so you're better off protecting it! Listen to your body's signals and act accordingly!
