Foods That Can Help Reverse Insulin Resistance

By Aimee Schwartz


Diseases should be prevented at all cost. Especially if it is diabetes, people should take care of their body so that they do not suffer from the said disease. If they are already affected with it, then they should aim to reverse insulin resistance. If this is the case, there are foods that must be eaten to help fight off the disease. Here are some of those foods to eat.

Turmeric. The said food is deemed to be very effective when you are fighting off this particular disease. The said turmeric is found to contain an active compound that is very effective in fighting off the disease and that would be curcumin. The said compound is extremely effective in activating the glucose uptake of a person.

You can also have ginger. Ginger can be eaten raw or you can use it as one of the ingredients in the dish you are cooking. It is possible for ginger to significantly lower fasting blood glucose. If ginger is consumed at an appropriate amount during a specific period of time, the fasting blood sugar of a diabetic will surely reduce significantly.

There is cinnamon for this fight as well. You can say that this is one of the best food you can take to reduce the body's blood sugar levels. As a food item, it has been the oldest and the most popular spices for people. Because of its flavoring and medical qualities, it has already been used since the ancient times. Just take less than one-half teaspoon of cinnamon a day then.

You can also have the olive leaf extract. You should not forget to include this into your diet either as a staple or as a supplement. If you have the olive leaf extract into your diet, then you can surely get results that are comparable to the common diabetic therapeutics. You can expect results particularly similar to metformin.

You will find it less necessary to get insulins for your sugar balance right after the meal when you eat berries. This should be a good thing for you. You can add the berries to your bread, either with the white bread or rye bread. You can have a wide variety of berries such as bilberries, strawberries, chokeberries, lingonberries, and even a mix of them.

The black seeds should also be helpful for you in the fight against the said illness. Otherwise known as the Nigella sativa, you just need to have two grams of this to get the best results against the illness you are suffering from. Two grams is the best dosage to take everyday so that you can get the best results.

Spirulina is another one that you should take advantage of when you are diabetic. In recent studies, having spirulina a day can increase your sensitivity to more than twice the usual effect of other options. The study used 19 grams of the spirulina. It is fine to take advantage of this ingredient.

Berberine should be included in the diet as well. You can find this just as effective as most of the prescribed diabetes drugs you can buy off the pharmacy. Berberine is the bitter compound that you will most likely found in the roots of plants like Oregon grape, goldenseal, and barberry. Its results can be comparable with metformin.
