How berries could reduce blood sugar levels. I’d like to know what the potent part is, how the reduction works, how long it takes to see the results and how much to eat.
Berries are loaded with polyphenols, antioxidants, and fiber that can aid in reducing blood sugar levels, especially when eaten before meals. Berries like strawberries and blackberry have shown to lower blood glucose levels in less than 10 hours when consumed post meals. The berries boost insulin sensitivity which aids in clearing excess glucose in the blood to be used as energy in the cells. The polyphenol antioxidants from vitamin C in berries and magnesium minerals improve insulin sensitivity and lower inflammation which helps maintain moderate blood sugar levels. The high fiber content in berries slows down glucose absorption in the bloodstream and gastric emptying, resulting in decreased blood glucose. The anthocyanin’s in berries can also decrease blood glucose by lowering inflammation and cell damage by oxidative stress and improving insulin resistance.
Eating 4 to 5 berries daily can significantly lower your blood sugar levels and the risk of diabetes.
I believe that nutrition science is a wonderful helper both for the preventive improvement of health and adjunctive therapy in treatment. My goal is to help people improve their health and well-being without torturing themselves with unnecessary dietary restrictions. I am a supporter of a healthy lifestyle – I play sports, cycle, and swim in the lake all year round. With my work, I have been featured in Vice, Country Living, Harrods magazine, Daily Telegraph, Grazia, Women's Health, and other media outlets.
