The numbers are staggering. Roughly 24 million Americans have diabetes, and some studies suggest that as much as 6 million don’t even know they have it. Another 57 million are thought to have prediabetes, a condition that boosts risks for diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. What quick tricks can you use to try to avoid prediabetes and diabetes?
Vitamin C: One European study found that people who have the most vitamin C in their bodies had the lowest incidence of diabetes. Fruits and veggies like oranges, strawberries, and broccoli are a great source.
Spice: Researchers from the University of Georgia tested 24 common herbs and spices. What they discovered is that their antioxidants could prevent inflammation associated with diabetes. Cloves and cinnamon both got high rankings. So spice things up.
Brown rice: A compound in the rice reduces nerve and blood vessel damage from diabetes, according to experts. Soaking the dry rice in water overnight awakens the compound.
Just these three tricks should help and it’s nice to have the research to back it up.
