How to Overcome Diabetes Naturally - Based on studies in the U.S. recently, often consuming blueberries, apples, and pears can reduce your risk of developing diabetes. "Those who eat more blueberries or apples at lower risk for developing diabetes," said An Pan, researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health.
An Pan stated that these fruits are rich in flavonoids, a chemical compound that can be found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Flavonoids may reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and can lower high blood pressure. "Blueberries and apples may reduce the risk of diabetes up to 23 percent," said An Pan.
American Diabetes Association states that there are around 26 million Americans who suffer from diabetes, a disease caused by the body's inability to produce insulin (a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels). An Pan suggest to people who have diabetes to frequently consume these fruits. "In addition to preventing, high flavonoid in these fruits are very good for people with diabetes," said An Pan.
Meanwhile, a professor at New York University, Dr. Loren Greene, said that the natural sugar contained in fruits may increase blood glucose levels quickly. In addition, other substances contained in fruits such as fiber and pectin can provide good benefits for diabetics. "It's better to eat fruit than drink fruit juice," she said.
Actually diabetes is influenced by several factors, such as weight, smoking habits, and heredity. To control it, in addition to consuming fruits, diabetes can be controlled with regular exercise and a healthy diet.
