10 Foods That Lower Blood Sugar
Food #10: Mushrooms
Mushrooms are very low in carbohydrates. In one cup of raw white mushrooms, one can expect to consume just 2 carbohydrates, 1 of which is from fiber.
Mushrooms are great because they can be incorporated into meal dishes very easily. In addition, they also contain numerous health benefits. Mushrooms have been linked to having anti-inflammatory properties. For instance, one study found that when men clinically diagnosed with metabolic syndrome consumed white mushrooms for 16 weeks, significant improvements in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory markers were evaluated. One specific biomarker that was evaluated was blood pressure. The participant’s blood pressure significantly decreased.
