Five superfoods to eat in the morning to lower blood sugar and avoid diabetes

People with diabetes need to exercise caution when it comes to controlling their blood sugar. Eating meals that are good for diabetes at the beginning of the day helps to maintain blood sugar levels steady throughout the day, which reduces cravings and increases feelings of fullness. Even if you have the opportunity to concentrate on your wellbeing in the morning, most people find that they are rushed and occupied during this time. It makes sense that infused beverages, soaking meals, and herbal drinks are becoming more and more well-liked as more and more individuals choose them to improve their general health.

A diabetes diagnosis necessitates a wide range of lifestyle adjustments, but there are a few little adjustments you may make to your daily routine without much trouble. Individuals with diabetes are recommended to eat within an hour of waking up and to have a healthy breakfast. For breakfast, high-protein and complex carbohydrates are ideal; highly refined, low-fiber, and simple carbohydrates should be avoided.

A healthy diet first thing in the morning can help delay the onset of diabetes. These traditional Indian superfoods might aid in the fight against insulin resistance.

Charu Dua, Chief Clinical Nutritionist at Amrita Hospital, Faridabad, suggests incorporating early morning superfoods into daily routines to protect against diabetes, a condition that requires a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Dua delves into the potential of ancient Indian superfoods as a tool for diabetes prevention.

1. Bitter gourd juice: Bitter gourd, known for its bitter taste, contains compounds that regulate blood sugar levels. Consuming karela juice in the morning can enhance insulin sensitivity, reduce diabetes risk, and stimulate insulin secretion. It also inhibits alpha-glucosidase enzyme activity, promoting better glucose control.

2. Amla juice: Amla, a vitamin C-rich Indian gooseberry, can help manage diabetes by regulating blood sugar levels, making it a tasty and effective diabetes prevention strategy.

3. Cinnamon tea: Cinnamon, rich in antioxidants, may improve insulin sensitivity, influence glucose metabolism, lower fasting blood sugar levels, and combat oxidative stress, potentially aiding diabetes management by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.

4. Soaked fenugreek seeds: Cinnamon, a spice, may aid in diabetes management by improving insulin sensitivity and influencing glucose metabolism. Studies suggest it can lower fasting blood sugar levels. Fenugreek seeds, rich in soluble fiber, can also help control blood sugar levels and reduce appetite. Cinnamon’s antioxidant properties, which combat oxidative stress, may also contribute to its potential benefits in diabetes management.

5. Turmeric water: Turmeric, a spice in Indian cuisine, contains curcumin, an antioxidant, which may lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, making it a beneficial morning habit.

Cinnamon powder in tea can improve glycemic control, but individual responses vary. Diabetes management through diet is effective, but healthcare advice is crucial, especially for medication-users.
