9. Cinnamon
Blood Sugar Benefit: In 2003 a study carried out by journal Diabetes Care showed that cinnamon might help diabetic patients by triggering muscle and liver cells to respond more readily to insulin, hence controlling the obesity and help reduce weight. Better response to insulin means better blood sugar balance and, therefore, less insulin released into your body.
It is proven through research that taking cinnamon also seems to have its effects over CVS i.e cardiovascular system disease, including high blood sugar and high levels of triglycerides, LDL (Low Density Lipid) which is a “bad” cholesterol, and total cholesterol.
Cinnamon can be effective by taking 1 to 6 grams for 40 days. (One gram of ground cinnamon is about half a teaspoon.) It is found that cinnamon cut LDL, cholesterol by 18% and sugar levels by 24%.
10. Mango
Blood Sugar Benefit: Mangos are delicious and one of the most eatable fruit around the globe. It is sugary and sweet in taste helping in maintaining blood glucose level by lowering it. It also controls inflammation in obese people.
According to research published in the journal Nutrition and Metabolic Insights. “The results shows that daily consumption of 10 grams of freeze-dried mango, which is equivalent to about one-half of a fresh mango [about 100 grams], may help lower blood sugar in obese individuals,” explains Edralin Lucas, PhD, an associate professor of nutritional sciences at Oklahoma State University’s College of Human Sciences and lead study author.
With this mango also compete with our nutritional demand of Vitamins including Vitamin A, C and B6 and also dietary fiber.
But mangoes are not advice by doctors in case of blood sugar
