B-eat diabetes!!!

Apple peel
Apple peels have sugar reducing powers. They contain quercetin, a flavanoid that has anti-oxidant effects that helps in reducing diabetes.. So when snacking on the fruit, remember to eat it whole. Apples come in many varieties. No matter which variety you choose, the benefits are equally high.

Asparagus
Asparagus is an excellent source of glutathione — an antioxidant compound that is known to keep blood sugar stable. The edible parts of the stalk are the shoots that appear underground, so choose those that are tender and green.

Beans
Most members of the legume family contain phytonutrients that are not only good for the heart but will also help you battle diabetes. The best way to take full advantage of these is by consuming dried beans that have been soaked in water for several hours before cooking. Think rajma, chole, etc.

Broccoli
Broccoli is easily available at most speciality-food stockists. It is an excellent source of quercetin which will help you in your war against rising blood sugar. So blanch it for your salad or puree it for the soup.

Carrots
Have you heard of a rabbit with diabetes? It's probably because of all the carrots they munch. Jokes apart, these vegetables are not only good for your eyes, like your mother said, but also full of carotenoids that can help protect the heart and balance your insulin levels.

Fish
Another great reason to dump red meat in favour of fish. Not only do the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish help fight depression, they balance your blood sugar levels and protect your heart.

Nuts
A fistful of nuts is power-packed with minerals and healthy fats that protect your heart and balance your blood sugar. Go nuts!

Oranges
This perky fruit is not just another pretty looker about town. It's packed with phtonutrients that can help you fight diabetes including flavonoids, carotenoids, terpines, pectins and glutathione. It rates low on the Glycemic Index, which means it does not affect blood glucose levels highly, making the orange a good friend to have.

Soybeans
Also a member of the legume family, the soya bean is a complete source of protein, and also provides phytoestrogens, isoflavones and saponins that can help balance blood sugar.

Tea
Apart from being high on anti-oxidants that act as a cleanser for your system, here’s one more reason not to miss out on your daily cup of chai. It has phytonutrients such as catechins and tannins that can help balance your blood sugar. However, don’t forget to keep the sugar aside.
