Foods That Lower Blood Sugar and Help Reverse Diabetes



Our modern diet has been proven to be a causative factor in diabetes. Sadly most people do not fully comprehend the relation between the food that they put into their bodies and their life-style habits, and their chronic diseases - such as type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately, the health authorities, majority of doctors and nutritionists recommend the same eating plans that cause these diseases to develop in the first place.
If you are a diabetic, you may have been told by your doctor or nutritionists, that the problems you are facing are genetic, biochemical, or otherwise beyond your control. Patients are frequently told the food they eat has nothing to do with their disease. However, nothing can be further from the truth. And even if some dietary recommendations are given, they are often misguided, leading to more problems instead of solving them.
Most chronic conditions - including diabetes - are not only caused by unhealthy diet and life-style, but can also be completely reversed by eating a natural, plant-based diet and implementing sufficient physical activity in the form of exercise and other into your life.




For best health benefits and to lower your blood sugar effectively, you should consume primarily unprocessed plant foods. This means that meats, poultry, fish, and dairy should be avoided or completely eliminated. No processed foods, fried foods, fats or sweets should be eaten. If you cannot resist, at least limit the consumption of such foods to once a week or even less often.
Over 60% (the more the better) of our caloric intake should be consumed as fruits and vegetables in their RAW state - as salads or just eaten whole. The rest of the calories may come from steamed or lightly cooked vegetables, whole grains and legumes. Such foods do not only help lower blood sugar, but will also contribute to your general well-being.
The Standard American Diet (often referred to as SAD diet) is based on meats, fats, processed wheat and diary products, none of which are ideal nourishment for humans. Fat consumed in meats, diary or as various oils, accelerates the disease process by interfering with the absorption of glucose by the cells. This causes high blood sugar level and insulin resistance.
Our bodies are best adapted to a diet consisting of natural, unrefined, plant-based foods with little or no animal products. Such diet lowers blood sugar level, bringing it back to normal, and has the power to completely reverse diabetes in a diabetic patient.
What you should know is diabetes reversal is possible and is entirely up to you, because the disease is influenced by your lifestyle choices, most importantly diet and exercise. Do not wait until it is too late - you need to take action TODAY!
