What are good foods for blood sugar regulation besides oatmeal?

Question

I'm looking for foods that enable you to stay on an even energy level throughout the day without the highs and lows of sugar and caffeine. I've noticed oatmeal is good. But what else?

Answer 1

try a banana-

This is very interesting.

After Reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at a banana in the same way again -



Bananas. Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose

combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial

boost of energy.



Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a

strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit

with the world's leading athletes.



But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also

help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions,

making it a must to add to our daily diet.



Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people

suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana.

This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body

converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and

generally make you feel happier. PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The

vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.



Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in

the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.



Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium

yet low in salt, making it the perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so,

the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to

make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood

pressure and stroke.



Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped

through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and

lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the

potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.



Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore

normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.



Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana

milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the

help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk

soothes and re-hydrates your system.



Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you

suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.



Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood

sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.



Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the

affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it

amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.



Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.



Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria

found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and

crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese

were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to

avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels

by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.



Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders

because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that

can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also

neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.



Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit

that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant

mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.



Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because

they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.



Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12

they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help

the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.



Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat,

sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we

are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium

levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.



Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine,

"eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by

strokes by as much as 40%!



Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off

a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the

yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!



So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it

to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three

times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals.

It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around.



So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so

that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"



PASS THIS ON TO ALL OF YOUR ON-LINE FRIENDS and FAMILY



PS Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time!

Remember to stay away from foods that are high in unnecessary Carbohydrates. Oatmeal is good but Flavored Oatmeal is bad because it contains a high amount of sugar

Protein is slow burning in your system and so are fats. Carbs burn the quickest and are usually what gives you the highs and lows. (caffeine acts as a drug so is a bit different)

Answer 5

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Water! Read the book: you're not sick, you're thirsty. That should answer all your questions. Also, read about apple cider vinegar. I am 50 and feel 18. I have energy to spare and never get tired like I did about 2 years ago. You can find these articles on the web.

Answer 9

the best food for a diabetic are said to be beans/legumes due to their slow rise and fall of blood sugar levels.

Eat low on the glycemic index scale and add an acid like lemon juice or vinegar to each meal to reduce the final glymcemic number. Some of the foods lowest on the glycemic index are cherries, all kinds of beans like navy, butter, lima, blackeyed peas, chickpeas, kidney beans, soybeans, peanuts, golden delicious apples, skim milk (I do not reecommend milk), oatmeal, sweet potatoes, whole wheat spagetti, oranges and OJ.

See a book on this to know why finely ground grains are worse than sugar for diabetics even if whole wheat. Use whole wheat (bulgar) over cracked wheat over stone ground whole wheat over whole wheat or white (flour products)..

I went upstair to get the book to give you the following info from Jean Carper's book "food your miracle medicine" based on 10,000 medical studies.

The foods recommended for diabetes are onions, gasrlic (one woman cured her diabetes eating 2 bulbs (not cloves) of raw garlic a day..put them in dairy like yogurt to reduce burning). Also cinnamon, curry spice,high fiber foods, beans, lentils, fenugreek seeds, fish (fatty--salmon, mackeral, herring, and sadines..must be high in omega three fatty acids), barley, high chromium foods like broccoli. Other high chromium foods are nuts, oysters, mushrooms, whole grains, beer, wine, rhubarb, brewyer's yeast.Restrict fats, especially saturated.

Eat 50-60% carbs (whole grains preferred and produce), less than 30% fats and less than 10% saturated fats, and 30-40 grams of fiber.

Also see this and Dr. Schulze incurables program for a cure.(in sources)

supplements are help are fenugreek, tumeric, bitter melon, chromium (gtf factor kind).

also are help as well as safe for diab etic are Gymenia Sylvestre aand stevia. Do not use the dangerous nutrisweet and similar sweeteners. Stevia comes in powder, liquid, and packets and it 3 calaries per spoon and not only safe but helps diabetics improve..sylvestre blocks much of the absorbtion of sugar.
