Good nutrition promotes healthy blood sugar levels

 

Since the 1930s, numerous studies have shown that a high-complex-carbohydrate,

high-fiber diet can help you maintain healthy blood sugar levels, which is why I

recommend that you make plant foods the mainstay of your meals. Virtually all

plant foods in their original form contain complex carbohydrates and soluble

fiber, which slows down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, promoting

even blood sugar levels with out peaks and valleys. The best sources of soluble

fiber are legumes (beans), oat bran, nuts, seeds, apples, and most vegetables.

 

Although moderate amounts of lean protein, primarily from fish and nonfat dairy,

are fine, you should eliminate high-fat dairy (cheese, sour cream, butter, whole

milk) from your diet and relegate meat to side dish status once or twice a week.

Stay away from trans fatty acids, which are found in margarine, processed oils,

fried foods and most commercially baked goods. Also avoid refined baked goods

and starchy carbohydrates -- breads, potatoes, corn, white rice and the like.

 

At the same time, make sure you're getting enough of the good fats -- omega-3

and omega-6 fatty acids -- which are considered essential because they can only

be obtained through foods or supplements. Fresh raw nuts and seeds are rich in

omega-6 fatty acids, while cold water fish (salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines,

tuna and trout) and flax are the richest sources of omega-3 fatty acids. I

recommend eating salmon or other cold-water fish several times a week, and

having one to two tablespoons of flax oil, or up to one-quarter cup of freshly

ground flax seed daily. Flax oil should never be heated, as its EFAs are

destroyed by high temperatures. For cooking, use extra-virgin olive oil.

 

 

Take a full spectrum of nutrients that promote healthy blood sugar levels

In addition to a high-potency multivitamin/mineral formula, be sure to take

additional supplements that target your blood sugar directly. There are several

nutrients that can help regulate your blood sugar levels as well as fortify and

protect cells and organs that are dependent on blood sugar regularity.
