3 Foods That Will Make Your Type 2 Diabetes Even Worse
Did you know that some “safe” foods might be
making your diabetes even worse?
You
know to stay away from sweets, but some so-called “healthy” alternatives could
be hijacking your blood sugar.
Keep these blood sugar-boosters off the menu
to maximize your energy level:
1-
Fruit Smoothies You’ve been
told your whole lives to eat your fruits and veggies, but here’s what they
didn’t tell you…
Many smoothies contain as much sugar as three
cans of soda…
…especially fast-food and restaurant smoothies.
So how can you get the necessary vitamins and
fiber while avoiding blood sugar spikes?
The solution: make smoothies yourself.
Just make
sure to stay away from super-sugary fruits like bananas and peaches.
Try these
instead:
Apples
Blueberries
Strawberries
2-
Potatoes
I know what you’re thinking:
“What
could go wrong with a food that’s fat-free, cholesterol-free, and full of fiber
and vitamins?”
The problem with starchy foods, like potatoes, is
that they’re digested into the bloodstream lightning-quick and can trigger
sharp insulin spikes.
Don’t
scrap your spuds just yet, though. The key to a diabetes-friendly potato is in
the preparation and portion size.
Preparation tips:
-
Cook them with a healthy fat,
like olive oil
-
Add leafy greens or vegetables
-
Chill the potato or add lemon
juice to slow digestion
As for portion size, stick to about 1/2 cup of
mashed potatoes or a computer mouse sized baked potato.
3-
White rice
In the diabetes world, white flour is like
sugar’s evil minion.
Combine
this with all the frying and processing involved with cooking flour, and your
bloodstream is about to become a war-zone.
In fact, regularly eating white rice
significantly increases your risk for Type 2 Diabetes. The risk increases
11% for each additional daily serving.
Thankfully, there is another option: brown rice.
Whole grains have fiber, which slows the rush of
glucose into the bloodstream. Two servings of brown rice per week can actually
lower your risk of diabetes, and help keep your blood sugar in check.
What if
you could REVERSE your Type 2 Diabetes and never stop enjoying your favorite
foods, here’s what you need:
