The Best 5 Foods To Eat To Reverse Diabetes And The Worst 5 Foods That You Must Avoid At All Costs To Lower Your Blood Sugar And Get Rid Of Diabetes.
Let’s start with the foods that are good for you…
1
Fish And Poultry
Fish and poultry are great sources of protein that’s easily digestible and safe for your blood sugar levels . Because they’re made mostly out of protein and some fat, these types of meat are the healthiest both for diabetics and for health-conscious people.
Fish is one of the easiest digestible meats on Earth, containing also important antioxidants and healthy omega 3 fats. You can eat fish by cooking it or eating it raw such as having sushi or in other ways. I suggest you eat fish such as salmon and trout. Seafood is great also, depending if you like their taste or not – but they must be fresh to make sure they’re healthy.
Poultry is a safe source of protein also – that means chicken, turkey and even duck. They can be delicious, depending on how you prepare them, and they cover most of your nutritional needs when it comes to protein, keeping you full and satiated for a longer time.

Nuts And Seeds
Nuts and seeds are tiny superfoods. These delicacies contain all macronutrients in a balanced ratio – carbohydrates, fats and protein so that they will keep you full and avoid hunger. They also contain a lot of antioxidants, minerals and vitamins that you could otherwise hardly find anywhere else.
The best nuts are Macadamia nuts , which have the highest ratio of fat, amongst other goodies such as selenium and other minerals. The best seeds are hemp, chia and pumpkin seeds . I suggest you soak them in water for at least 12 hours before eating them so that you release all the antinutrients they have in them while improving the absorption of their nutrients.

Green Leafy Vegetables
How many times you didn’t hear “eat your vegetables”? Well, there’s a good reason behind it. Vegetables are not only great for your health, containing a truckload of antioxidants and minerals but they’re also improving your digestion and your hormonal health.
All vegetables are healthy and I encourage you to eat a wide variety of them, with all colors. However, if I would have to choose, I would go with green leafy vegetables as they seem to have some of the highest nutrients of them all. You should eat them raw or slightly boiled if you insist on cooking them – but don’t fry them because they can lose their vitamins and minerals at high temperatures.

Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is one of the healthiest and healing foods out there . They have antimicrobial and antiviral properties , cleansing your digestive system of unwanted bacteria and viruses. They also improve the gut flora, ease the digestion and provide you with a clean source of calories.
Coconut oil can be eaten in a variety of ways – you can cook with it (it’s one of the best oils out there that can stand high temperatures without getting oxidized), you can put it in various dishes (even cookies) and you can put it in your coffee, tea or just eat it plainly. Either way, it tastes delicious (or in the worst case scenario, it’s neutral) and it’s very healthy for you, helping you reverse your diabetes and improve your blood sugar levels.
5
Eggs
Eggs are the unknown superfoods of our time. As tiny as they look, eggs have tremendous nutrients in them – easily digestible protein,
nourishing fats and many minerals and vitamins to help you reverse diabetes. The myth that if you eat too many eggs is completely false – you can eat however many eggs you want every day, resting assured that they won’t hurt your health. If anything, they’ll just improve it.
You can cook eggs any way you want – fry them, poach them, boil them and even use them in other dishes. Make sure you don’t eat them raw as the risk for getting potential harmful bacteria in your stomach increases, as well as worsening your digestion.
And Now, Let’s Switch To The
Top 5 Foods That Are Bad For Your Health And Will Only Worsen Your Diabetes – Hence, You Must Avoid Them As Much As Possible…
1
(Whole Or Otherwise)Grains
Whole grains have been touted (and still are by many so called “experts”) to be the best health foods we can possibly eat. Well, I’m here to tell you that that’s completely false – especially if you’re a diabetic.
Why is that? Well, grains are mostly carbohydrates with traces of protein and fats. If you don’t know this yet, carbohydrates are the macro nutrient that raises blood sugar the most, hence worsening your diabetes and raising your blood sugar levels. You don’t want that, right? Then you should stop eating grains, whether whole or not, for your own good.
Besides raising blood sugar, most grains wreck havoc on our digestive systems because of their inability to be digested and because of their antinutrients, they also negatively impact your hormonal system.
Personally, I advise everyone I meet that are interested in their health to avoid grains as much as possible. If you’re a diabetic, if you care about your health, ditch the grains forever!
2
Fruits
Fruits are considered to be the epitome of health and taste. While they do marry these two in a balanced way, they are from from bringing the best out of both worlds to anyone who consumes them.
Although many experts claim that fruit are very nutritious and healthy, the truth is that berries are the only fruit that truly pack many antioxidants and minerals per pound. Otherwise, fruit aren’t worth it really – they’re more sugar than anything else. As you might suspect, sugar is quite bad for your blood sugar , especially since you have diabetes.
Now don’t get me wrong – I’m not recommending that you skip on fruit for the rest of your life. If you really love eating them, focus mainly on small berries and after you achieve normal blood sugars you can start eating other fruit as well. However, don’t kid yourself – fruits are not as healthy as the media suggests.
3
Sweets
If you go into a normal supermarket you will notice that two thirds of it is actually selling processed foods. That’s exactly what sweets are – processed foods laden with sugar and additional chemicals added to enhance the taste.
If beating diabetes is truly your intention, you must renounce sweets completely, at least until you reach normal blood sugar levels.
4
Rice And Potatoes
Rice and potatoes are starchy vegetables. Otherwise a very healthy source of carbohydrates and starch, for diabetics these vegetables are very detrimental to their health. Because of their starchy composition, when digested, rice and potatoes transform into glucose and fructose – which are, simply put, sugars. You know what sugars do, right? They elevate your blood sugar levels – which leads to worsening your diabetes.
If you want normal blood sugar levels, lay off the rice and potatoes for now. Besides calories, they don’t actually contain too many nutrients anyway – so you aren’t losing anything really.
5
Low Fat Dairy
Dairy is a sensitive subject because people react differently to it. Some are more sensible while others tolerate it well. To know for sure, you have to test it on yourself and see how it impacts your blood sugar.
However, to know exactly how it affects you, you must buy your dairy from the cleanest source possible. That means that you should buy it from farmers and people who raise their cows in the most humane and natural environment possible. In other words, your milk should be from grass fed, happy cows – and, shockingly enough, it shouldn’t be pasteurized. Otherwise, the quality of the milk you’re drinking is far lower.
You know the low fat versions of yogurt, milk and so on? Well, because they removed the fat, they had to improve their taste somehow, right? If you take a quick look at the labels, you’ll notice that they introduced all sorts of artificial sweeteners and sugar to improve the taste. How healthy do you think these are for you and your blood sugar?
Milk cow is also a powerful allergenic – so if your body doesn’t quite tolerate it, try giving goat milk a try. It’s leaner and much healthier than cow milk and its composition is much closer to the composition of natural human milk.
As a conclusion when it comes to dairy – choose full fat, natural products instead of processed, sugar laden ones that are present in the supermarket.
