Diabetic Clarity
The first thing you’ll need to do is eliminate refined carbohydrates and
simple sugars from your diet. Be sure to eliminate white bread, white
pasta and white rice from your diet too since these are also made of
refined grains. They also don’t have any nutritional value to them and
cause blood sugar levels to increase significantly quickly.
They have nothing – like fiber – that allows the body to hold onto
them and keep you fuller longer and maintain a steady blood sugar
level.
Rather than eating foods with refined carbs, go with complex
carbohydrates that ensure the body slowly digests them and can
control the blood sugar levels and stop the spikes in blood glucose.
If you’re going to reverse your diabetes, you also need to reduce your
sugar consumption intake. Sugar plays a huge role in blood sugar
levels, which is why it’s so important to reduce how much sugar you
take in.
Add Fiber
Another way to naturally reverse your diabetes is to add fiber to it.
Fiber can help in the slow the digestion process down, which reduces
the chances of spikes in blood sugar.
Along with fiber, you need to add in complex carbohydrates (as noted
above). Some great sources of fiber include vegetables, fruits, beans
and legumes.
Soluble fiber is seen in many different types of food, and once
consumed and combined with water, becomes gel-like. This gel-like
substance slows down how quickly it goes through the digestive tract,
which allows for the control over blood sugar levels.
Fiber is also necessary for any weight loss routine you take up. Fiber
will keep you fuller for longer, which means you won’t overeat. This is
a good thing for diabetics, as most of them are overweight or obese.
The fiber will help in reducing their appetite, allowing them to lose
weight while also controlling their blood sugar levels.
