Fruit to the Rescue

By Leave a Comment

Fresh fruits in your diet help protect you against diabetes. A 12% decrease in the incidence of the disease was seen in those who eat fruit daily, independent of other factors. No matter your age, sex, smoking habits, alcohol consumption, physical activity, BMI or family history of diabetes, for each whole fruit you eat per day, you can see a 12% decrease. Be sure to have whole fruits , particularly blueberries, grapes, and apples, in your daily diet. These can also help in reversing pre-diabetes.

Additionally, there are other foods that do not raise blood sugar and will decrease your odds of developing diabetes. These include avocados, fish, garlic, apple cider vinegar, leafy greens (kale spinach, chard), and chai seeds.

Each one of us plays a major role in our health care, every minute of every day we are ultimately in charge. Information is constantly changing, hence a need for vigilance on all our parts to stay up to date so we can better care for ourselves and our families.

Emergency medical experts have been invited to participate in an effort to make available a broad selection of useful information and resources. It’s our philosophy that by providing medical common sense as easy-to-understand information we can help to create a strong base upon which consumers can build their knowledge, enabling them to make better health care decisions.
