The fruit that “eats” all the body’s sugar. This is the main enemy of diabetes.

Benefits of Legumes

Legumes come in a variety of shapes, colors, and flavors: beans, chickpeas, lentils, and peas.

They can be eaten fresh, dried, canned, or frozen, and they pair wonderfully with almost any dish, from breakfast to dinner.

Nutritionists recommend consuming about three bowls of beans per week.

This simple rule helps maintain heart and blood vessel health, as well as stabilize blood sugar levels.

Other vegetables beneficial for diabetes

Legumes aren’t the only ones that help control high blood sugar. Other vegetables help maintain normal blood sugar levels:

Broccoli – contains chromium, which regulates blood sugar; it is high in fiber and low in carbohydrates.

Spinach – a source of magnesium, necessary for carbohydrate absorption and the effective action of insulin; almost calorie-free.
