Best Fruits for Diabetes to Help You Stay Healthy and Manage Blood Sugar Levels!
For people with diabetes, selecting the right fruits can be a critical choice affecting overall health. Not all fruits are equal, and some can cause significant spikes in blood sugar levels. This article will guide you through the best fruits to include in your diet and those to avoid.
The glycemic index (GI) measures how quickly foods elevate blood sugar levels. Foods with a GI above 70 are rapidly absorbed and may cause a significant rise in blood sugar, whereas those below 55 result in a slower, more moderate increase.
Despite having about 10g of sugar per 100g, apples have a low GI of 36, making them ideal for controlling blood sugar levels. Apples also contain antioxidants like quercetin and chlorogenic acid, which are linked to reduced diabetes risk.
With approximately 5.5g of fiber per pear, these fruits are excellent for digestion and blood sugar control. They're rich in antioxidants, such as caffeic acid, which help fight diabetes.
Bananas have a medium GI score of 51. Consuming them unripe can reduce sugar intake due to higher starch content, whereas ripe bananas are sweeter but still beneficial in moderation due to nutrients like potassium and vitamin B6.
Including lemons, limes, and oranges, citrus fruits are low GI and boost your vitamin C intake. They contain flavonoids like naringenin with potential anti-diabetic properties.
Berries have a low GI, generally between 25 to 53, and are high in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Berries, particularly blueberries and cranberries, help manage blood sugar spikes effectively.
These fruits offer low GI scores (around 35) but should be consumed in moderation due to their sugar content. They're nutritious, high in antioxidants, but should complement a balanced diet.
While the video also highlights fruits to avoid, such discontinuation is necessary for balanced blood sugar levels. Stay tuned in a future segment where we’ll discuss these troubling fruits.
