Diabetes super foods - Repost

Diabetes super foods: Repost


"Diabetes super foods
All of the foods in our list have a low glycemic index or GI and provide key nutrients that are lacking in the typical western diet such as:

calcium
potassium
fiber
magnesium
Vitamins A (as carotenoids), C, and E.
There isn’t research that clearly points to supplementation, so always think first about getting your nutrients from foods. Below is our list of superfoods to include in your diet.
Beans
Whether you prefer kidney, pinto, navy or black beans, you can’t find better nutrition than that provided by beans. They are very high in fiber giving you about 1/3 of your daily requirement in just a ½ cup and are also good sources of magnesium, and potassium.
They are considered starchy vegetables but a ½ cup provides as much protein as an ounce of meat without the saturated fat. To save time you can use canned beans, but be sure to drain and rinse them to get rid of as much sodium as possible."
