🧄 10. Garlic and Onions
These flavorful ingredients have been linked to improved blood sugar control thanks to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Use them generously in soups, stir-fries, and sauces.
🍋 11. Citrus Fruits
Lemons, oranges, and grapefruits contain fiber and vitamin C. While citrus is sweet, it has a low glycemic index and can help slow sugar absorption.
Try this: Add lemon juice to water or over salads to improve flavor and digestion.
🍞 BONUS: Whole Grains
Brown rice, quinoa, barley, and whole-grain bread contain complex carbs and fiber that help avoid sudden sugar spikes compared to refined grains.
Tip: Look for “100% whole grain” on labels and avoid white bread or processed grains.
🧠 Final Thought: Small Choices, Big Impact
You don’t have to completely overhaul your diet to improve your blood sugar. Start by adding more of these foods to your daily meals, and watch how small choices lead to big improvements in how you feel — more energy, better focus, and stable blood sugar.
And remember, consistency is key. Combine a balanced diet with movement, hydration, and regular check-ups for long-term wellness.
