3 Foods That Will Make Your Type 2 Diabetes Even Worse
Did you know that some “safe” foods might be making your diabetes even worse?
You know to stay away from sugary foods or sweets, but some so-called “healthy” alternatives could be hijacking your blood sugar.
>>>What if you could REVERSE your Type 2 Diabetes and throw away your insulin shots? A new medical discovery makes it possible
Keep these blood sugar-boosters off the menu to maximize your energy level:
1. Fruit Smoothies
You’ve been told your whole lives to eat your fruits and veggies, but here’s what they didn’t tell you…
Many smoothies contain as much sugar as three cans of soda…
…especially fast-food and restaurant smoothies.
So how can you get the necessary vitamins and fiber while avoiding blood sugar spikes?
The solution: make smoothies yourself.
Just make sure to stay away from super-sugary fruits like bananas and peaches.
Try these diabetes friendly foods instead:
- Apples
- Blueberries
- Strawberries
2. Potatoes
I know what you’re thinking:
“What could go wrong with a food that’s fat-free, cholesterol-free, and full of fiber and vitamins?”
The problem with starchy foods, like potatoes, is that they’re digested into the bloodstream lightning-quick and can trigger sharp insulin spikes.
Don’t scrap your spuds just yet, though. The key to a diabetes-friendly potato is in the preparation and portion size.
Preparation tips:
- Cook them with a healthy fat, like olive oil
- Add leafy greens or vegetables
- Chill the potato or add lemon juice to slow digestion
As for portion size, stick to about 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes or a computer mouse sized baked potato.
3. White rice
In the diabetes world, white flour is like sugar’s evil minion.
Combine this with all the frying and processing involved with cooking flour, and your bloodstream is about to become a war-zone.
In fact, regularly eating white rice significantly increases your risk for Type 2 Diabetes. The risk increases 11% for each additional daily serving.
Thankfully, there is another diabetes friendly food option: brown rice.
Whole grains have fiber, which slows the rush of glucose into the bloodstream. The correct portion size is two servings of brown rice per week to actually lower your risk of diabetes, and help keep your blood sugar in check.
