ANXIOUS OF DIABETES? ADJUST YOUR DIET

To develop and stay with diabetes is not only a physical phenomenon but also dependent on our daily nutrition. In manifold ways, as indicated in this blog. Scientifically verified. Read on to learn about details.​

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND
​

As you know latest from our publications and seminars, almost 90% of non-age-related (premature) deaths and more than 70% of all diseases in general are the consequence of unsolved (‘chronic’) health issues. With heart failure on top, followed by cancer and > diabetes.
 
As far as the latter is concerned, the basic issue of this ‘vicious cycle’ is high dimension of blood sugar, based, inter alia, on un-healthy food. To counteract, we need to understand and add appropriate foods/drinks/spices to our nutrition.
 

NUTRITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS – SCIENTIFICALLY VERIFIED

Let’s start with
 

• Whole grains

 
(like quinoa) can manage blood sugar because of their content of fiber and  specific phytochemicals. Benefitting insulin sensitivity. Unlike ‘white grains’ which are rich in carbohydrates causing blood sugar spikes.
 
According to research at, inter alia, the University of Guelph in Guelph, Canada.
 

• Fish

 
Since types of fish such as
- trout
- salmon
- mackerel
- halibut
   &
- albacore tuna
are rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, they are also helpful with blood sugar management.
 
As based on research in China’s capital Beijing/Peking at
- Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences
   &
- Peking Union Medical College
   

• Leafy green vegetables

 
Such as
- kale
- spinach
- collard greens
- Swiss chard
- turnip greens
- lettuce
are beneficial to cut down blood sugar with their content of fiber, vitamin A and the mineral magnesium.

According to research at, inter alia,
- Harvard Medical School in Charlestown, MA    
   and
- Binzhou Medical University in ShanDong, China
 

• Avocados

 
are another nutritional plant very helpful for managing blood sugar with special reference to insulin sensitivity.
 
Because of their content of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs/PUFAs).
 
With special reference to cutting down also risk of metabolic syndrome which otherwise increases the risk of diabetes.
 
Based on research at, inter alia, Nutrition Science Solutions, LLC in Wimberly, TX.
 
Regarding insulin resistance, also
 

• Nuts

 
with special reference to almonds have found high reputation.
 
According to research inter alia at
- Kyung Hee University
   &
- Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine
(both in Seoul, Republic of Korea)
 
Similar the power of
 

• Blueberries

 
for improving insulin sensitivity in cases of insulin resistance.
 
As based on research at, inter alia, University of Maryland Eastern Shore in Princess Anne, MD
 
Also
 

• Apple cider vinegar

 
can support insulin sensitivity after meals.
 
According to research at, inter alia, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd, Iran
 

•  Cacao

 
With its antioxidant flavanol epicatechin cacao regulates glucose production and is therefore helpful with respect to diabetes.
 
According to research at, inter alia,
- University of California in Davis, CA            
   &  
- Universidad de Buenos Aires in Argentina’s capital Buenos Aires
   

• Garlic

 
can support cutting down blood glucose.
