7 Best Foods to Keep Your Diabetes Under Control
Broccoli
Broccoli is in a league of its own when it comes to nutrients and health benefits. No wonder, given that a half cup of cooked broccoli provides a whole host of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C and magnesium, as well as 26 calories and 3 grams of digestible carbs.
This superfood is also an important source for the powerful antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which help prevent eye disease.
Various studies in diabetics have shown that broccoli might reduce insulin levels and help the cells in your body fight the effects of free radicals. See also The Best 30-Day Meal Plan for People With Diabetes.
