Suggested Foods For Diabetics: Top 10 List
by Aurora Geib
(NaturalNews) If you've been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, your doctor has probably already advised you to limit simple sugars in your diet, avoid highly processed carbs and perhaps even increase your intake of whole grains, leafy greens and vegetables. These are your first steps toward better health. But, what if there were foods that had very targeted effects on blood sugar and type 2 diabetes? Here are 10 foods that lower blood sugar, support pancreatic health and may lessen your need for insulin.
1.Blueberries - Blueberries are not only yummy; they are packed with flavonoids and antioxidants. Their high fiber content and high levels of vitamin C and E make them the ideal blood-sugar-stabilizing food. You can enjoy blueberries fresh or frozen year round. Use them in fruit smoothies, on top of whole-grain cereal or even just plain. Blueberries are naturally sweet and need no condiments of any kind. You can even enjoy their benefits cooked in whole-grain pancakes or muffins. A study published in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition, "Cooking Does Not Decrease the Hydrophilic Antioxidant Capacity of Wild Blueberries," showed that, whether blueberries where baked, steamed or even microwaved, their antioxidant activity was not reduced.
2.Garbanzo beans - Sometimes called chick peas, garbanzo beans are high in fiber and low in fat. Garbanzo beans are also high in protein and can replace animal proteins in your diet -- such as red meat, milk and cheese -- which are high in saturated fat. You can cook garbanzo beans at home or use them canned; just be sure to choose the low-salt variety. Garbanzo beans are great when chilled and added to a green salad. They can also be used in soups, as a meat substitute in spaghetti and chili, or pureed and mixed with olive oil to make hummus.
3.Apples - Apples are high in fiber, antioxidants and vitamin C. Apples are easy to add to your diet. They can be served up as apple sauce or sliced into a Cobb salad. Apples are easy to add to a brown-bag lunch, as well. Just wash one and drop it in. If you don't like the mild flavor of Red Delicious apples, try some of the newer varieties. Fuji and Gala apples have a wonderful, tangy, straight-from-the-tree flavor.
4.Broccoli - Broccoli is high in fiber and a good natural source of chromium. Both fiber and chromium have been proven to be beneficial in treating diabetes. Broccoli can be lightly steamed and served with a touch of olive oil and sea salt. It can also be added to salads and sandwiches.
5.Avocados - Most of us know that avocados are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats which can lower cholesterol levels and decrease the risk of stroke and heart disease. A 2008 study published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2) has also shown that unsaturated vegetable fats can significantly reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. You can add avocados to your diet as guacamole, diced in a salad or sliced onto a sandwich. Buy avocados that are firm and dark green, then let them ripen until they turn nearly black and develop their signature rich, nutty flavor.
6.Asparagus - One serving of asparagus has only 5 grams of carbohydrates and a mere 20 calories yet is high in fiber, antioxidants and folate. It also has glutathione, which has been shown to lower blood sugar and increase insulin production.
7.Almonds - Almonds are packed with protein, fiber and polyunsaturated fats. All of these are the ideal components of a healthy diet. Almonds have been shown to stabilize blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. The good fats in theses nuts slow digestion, stave off hunger and delay pancreatic fatigue. You can enjoy roasted almonds as a snack. They can also be added to salads and are good when thinly sliced and sprinkled over many Asian dishes.
8.Kale - Kale, according to The World's Healthiest Foods (3), is rich in fiber and in vitamins E, C and A, all of which have been shown to help stabilize blood glucose levels. While some people enjoy kale raw in salads, for the biggest nutritional punch and ideal flavor, steam it lightly for five minutes and then let it rest five minutes before serving. Don't add butter or salt, or you're negating many of kale's health benefits.
9.Cranberries - Many people think of these as a seasonal dish, but cranberries should be part of your year-round diet. They are high in phytonutrients such as anthocyanin which can help lower blood glucose levels.
10.Oats - Oats are high in soluble fiber. A diet high in fiber can, according to a document published by the Harvard School of Medicine (4), prevent constipation, lower cholesterol and control blood sugar levels. Because the fiber in foods is digested differently than other carbohydrates, it does not require insulin and passes through the digestive track intact. This has the benefit of helping you feel full without altering your blood sugar levels.

Man cures diabetes, loses over 200 pounds with raw food diet
by Antonia
(NaturalNews) Constantly surrounded by a variety of food at his workplace, Oregon resident Clent Manich knew all too well how easy it was access foods wherever and whenever he wanted. He routinely ate hot dogs, soda and pizza. Eventually, his unhealthy dietary habits caused his weight to soar to an alarming 450 pounds. He was hardly able to walk due to pinched nerves in his back, was insulin dependent and had numerous hospital visits including one for pancreatitis in 2006.
These days, he trains for marathons, doesn't shy away from video cameras and is free from his diabetes. He's eager to show off what his trim and healthy body can do. So, how did he do it?
How one man overcame diabetes with a raw food diet
Manich lost over 200 pounds in about one year, going from having 43.7 percent body fat to an incredible 17.3 percent body fat by turning to a 100 percent raw food diet.
"I feel great, my energy level is amazing," says Manich. "It's better than when I was a teenager. I get up at five o'clock in the morning and feel like running a marathon." In addition to his increased energy and confidence, he says that his diabetes symptoms are completely gone. In the past, he explains that his waking blood glucose level would be over 128, and that now, its often in the low-70s.
"I had type 2 diabetes. I have now cured my diabetes . . ." Manich explains, adding that he typically eats more vegetables than fruit. He enjoys a " . . . wide variety of raw veggies, such as celery sticks, baby carrots, asparagus, sweet peppers, zucchini, broccoli, or any raw veggies" and says that when he craves sweet foods, he'll eat a peach or a banana, although he tends to consume fruit "in moderation."
He estimates that he lost about 7 pounds weekly once he started eating raw foods, dropping an astonishing 22 pounds the first month he started the healthier way of eating.
As he ponders whether he'll run a marathon or go mountain climbing, he says, "I'm never going to eat cooked food again."

EATING TO DEATH: Number Of People Afflicted With Diabetes Has Quadrupled Since 1980
by Isabelle Z.
(NaturalNews) The World Health Organization (WHO) recently revealed that the number of adults living with diabetes has nearly quadrupled since 1980. A whopping 422 million people are now believed to be living with the deadly disease, compared to just 108 million in 1980.
During that same time, the global prevalence of the disease has nearly doubled, jumping from 4.7 percent to 8.5 percent among adults. The disease is blamed for 1.5 million deaths in 2012 and was a contributing factor in an additional 2.2 million deaths that year. The UN health agency's first global report on diabetes pinpointed the changes in the way people around the world "eat, move and live" as the cause of this distressing surge.
Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the pancreas cannot produce enough of the hormone insulin, which regulates blood sugar, or the body is not able to use the insulin it produces effectively. The disease is considered a serious public health problem that can seriously affect a person's quality of life and shorten their lifespan.
The UN said that changes in people's diets during this period was a big part of the problem. Two specific ingredients are particularly guilty of contributing to the diabetes epidemic.
Sodium nitrite in processed meat
According to a study published in the journal Diabetologia, consuming processed meat can boost a person's diabetes risk by 40 percent. This increase is attributed to the nitrates used to preserve the meat. Nitrates are known to cause beta cell toxicity, which can adversely affect the body's ability to produce insulin.
Another study, which was published in the journal Circulation, combined results from nearly 1,600 earlier studies to determine the effects of processed meat on heart disease and diabetes. They found that, for every 1.8 ounces of processed meat that a person eats per day, their risk of diabetes grew by 19 percent.
Researcher Renata Micha said: "To lower risk of heart attacks and diabetes, people should consider which types of meats they are eating. Processed meats such as bacon, salami, sausages, hot dogs and processed deli meats may be the most important to avoid."
The dangers of sodium nitrate, which can also cause cancer, are starting to gain more attention, but much of the public remains blissfully unaware as they glorify foods like bacon. Consumer health advocate and science lab director Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, aims to educate the masses on these topics. His upcoming book, Food Forensics, reveals an abundance of little-known facts about this toxic chemical and other food ingredients that you might not realize are harmful.
High-fructose corn syrup in sodas and packaged foods
High-fructose corn syrup is widely used to sweeten packaged food because it is cheaper than sugar and it tastes even sweeter. Putting aside the fact that it usually comes from GM corn, which brings a whole slew of other dangers with it, HFCS is also known to increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease, among other issues.
The human body is not intended to handle such large amounts of fructose, which is why the liver metabolizes it into fats and triglycerides. It can also lead to overeating. HFCS consumption has been shown to lead to metabolic disorders that induce diabetes as well as obesity.
In 2010, the American Heart Association's Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention conference gave a "conservative" estimate that 130,000 new cases of diabetes had been caused by soda consumption and HFCS by extension.
A 2013 study by researchers from the Department of Preventive Medicine at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, found that the prevalence of diabetes was 20 percent higher in countries that had a high availability of HFCS than in those where the substance is not widely used.
As more and more people become diagnosed with this life-limiting disease, something must be done about food companies systematically harming their customers. The WHO's diabetes report specifically recommends that policies be implemented to promote the "consumption of healthy foods and to discourage the consumption of unhealthy foods, such as sugary soda." Educating people is a good start, but food companies also must be held accountable for their role in the epidemic.
