DIABETICS: WHICH VEGGIES ARE BEST ?

4/19/2019

For diabetics a well balanced diet containing specific nutrients is vital, with special reference to certain vegetables, as covered in this blog. Just read on...

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND

As you have learned from our previous blogs and beyond, you can’t get rid of diabetes with synthetics. The probably best example for this truth is the fact that, according to its producer, the most prescribed pharmaceutical drug prescribed for diabetes worldwide, has no less but 80 potential side effects – but cannot cure. A man-made vicious cycle.

NUTRITION FOR DIABETICS – SCIENTIFICALLY VALIDATED  

Fortunately, nature is leading us in the right direction when it comes to overcome diabetes.
 
Inter alia, with vegetables as the core of diabetic nutrition according to scientific findings of the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
 
Provided, we pick the right vegetables with low glycemic index (GI) but high in blood pressure reducing nitrates and also abundant in fiber. All that is available in nature abundantly….

Low-glycemic vegetables

Since blood sugar is absorbed by the body faster with high-glycemic foods, diabetics are well advised to focus on low-glycemic vegetables like, inter alia,
  • Spinach
  • Cauliflower
  • Asparagus
  • Artichoke
  • Eggplants
  • Celery
  • Lettuce
  • Green beans
  • Broccoli
  • Peppers
  • Etc.
 
With the additional benefit besides blood glucose control is certain risk reduction of additional weight gain.

High-nitrate vegetables

This type of nutrients not only improves blood circulation and lowers blood pressure specifically, it also reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. Although it is high in carbohydrates.
 
With following veggies belonging to this plant family…
  • Lettuce
  • Arugula
  • Rhubarb
  • Celery
  • Etc.  

Fiber

No less important for our health in general and for diabetics specifically is fiber to, inter alia, control blood glucose level and weight, and to reduce ‘bad’ (LDL) cholesterol as well as constipation.
 
Vegetables with high fiber content are, inter alia,….
  • Broccoli
  • Carrots
  • Brussels sprouts
  • Avocados
  • Artichokes
  • Beets
  • Split peas     

Proteins

Besides diabetics, also pregnant or lactating women need more proteins, as well as especially active people.
 
With special reference to following vegetables…
  • Spinach
  • Asparagus
  • Broccoli
  • Bok choy
  • Cauliflower
  • Brussels sprouts
  • Mustard greens  
Leaves us with the question if diabetics should jump on the vegan/vegetarian bandwagon to make sure they cover all appropriate nutrients their body needs. However, this can be denied, as we can tap nature’s veggies independently. All what counts is to get the appropriate nutrients from nature – unprocessed.   

IN A NUTSHELL

For diabetics a well balanced diet with specific nutrients is important, with special reference to certain vegetables, as covered in this blog. Including proteins from the appropriate plants.
