Cases of Type 2 diabetes have gone up 61% in the last few years, and many are on the brink of developing it right now. Yet nearly all cases can be prevented- a fact that’s truer today than ever before, thanks to new breakthroughs!
Take Panax ginseng.
Taking 200 mg. to 400 mg. of this herb daily lowers blood sugar by helping your pancreas produce a stream of insulin. Ginseng can lose effectiveness if used continuously, so take it for two months, then take two weeks off.
Add walnut oil to your diet
This light nutty-tasting oil could cut your risk of diabetes. Walnut oil has two healthy fats that help reverse insulin resistance, so your cells quickly burn blood sugar for energy—eating 2 oz. daily will do the trick too.
Snack on yogurt.
Eating on three cups each week of yogurt containing live probiotic bacteria cuts your diabetes risk. These healthy bacteria improve your pancreas’ ability to control blood glucose.
Whip up some spuds.
Getting within 10 pounds of your goal weight takes such a burden off your pancreas. It cuts your risk of diabetes five-fold-and eating one fiber-rich baked potato (with the skin) daily can help you shed those pounds.
Eat avocados.
Eating a few tablespoons of avocado each day can steady your blood sugar. Avocados are full of oleic acid and phytosterols, which help your body use glucose properly, stopping blood sugar from spiking.
Do your chores.
Getting in 25 minutes of activities like those into your day improves your insulin sensitivity and reduces your risk of diabetes.
Sip rosehip tea.
Drinking three cups of rosehip tea daily can stop the big blood sugar surges linked to full-blown diabetes. Compounds in rose hips nourish the liver, helping it absorb blood sugar and quickly burn it to produce heat.
Make homemade noodles.
Simply boiling up your own pasta instead of reaching for packaged instant noodles helps protect you from the blood sugar surges that mark prediabetes. Eat whole grains such as brown rice, slow-cooking oats, and homemade popcorn. They’re full of fiber that also stops sugar surges, plus they contain minerals that help your muscles use blood sugar for fuel.
Eat sweet potatoes.
Two cups of sweet potatoes weekly can cut your diabetes risk. Sweet potatoes are full of nutrients that heal and energize your pancreas, helping it produce sugar-controlling insulin.
Adopt a bedtime routine.
A nighttime routine that helps you drift off easily improves your blood sugar. It also can reverse prediabetes in 72 hours. Adequate sleep cuts your carb cravings, and that’s the ticket to great blood-sugar control.
