90% of diabetes cases would be reversed if you stopped eating these foods
In our modern world, type 2 diabetes has become an epidemic, affecting increasingly younger individuals. However, the good news is that a large proportion of diabetes cases could be prevented or even reversed if certain dietary habits were adjusted. Here’s a look at the foods and eating habits that some experts believe play a significant role in preventing and reversing diabetes.
The Dangers of Fat-Free Foods
Fat-free foods may seem appealing to health-conscious individuals, but they are sometimes loaded with sugars. These intentional chemicals can reverse the intended benefits of low-fat foods and raise blood sugar levels, causing inflammation and damaging the body. It’s advisable to choose foods with a glycemic index below 70.
Myths about Fruits
There’s a persistent myth that all fruits significantly raise blood sugar levels. In reality, fruits tend to have a relatively low glycemic index and can be beneficial if eaten in moderation. A 2017 study shows that moderate fruit consumption can prevent diabetes rather than worsen it.
Processed Snacks
Snacks like commercial energy bars and candy bars are loaded with processed sugars that can negatively affect your health. Just one candy bar can contain a lot of sugar, which has been linked to cardiovascular problems and hardening of the arteries.
Breakfast Foods
Sweetened yogurts, sugar-enriched cereals, and granolas are often promoted as healthy breakfast options. However, these foods are often high in glycemia, providing a lot of calories with no real nutritional value. Instead, opt for options like plain Greek yogurt or eggs.
Milk and Its Alternatives
Modern milk, often low in fat, doesn’t offer the same benefits as raw milk and may contain hidden sugars. Experts suggest caution with sweetened dairy products, which can raise blood sugar levels.
Fats and Health Issues
Animal fats have been widely demonized in diets; however, recent studies, some published in journals such as the Journal of the American Medical Association, show that when consumed in moderation, they can be part of a balanced diet. Fake fats like margarine are now being questioned, while butter is experiencing a revival.
