10 Foods That Lower Blood Sugar
Food #2: Tuna, Halibut, and Salmon
Food items such as tuna, salmon, and halibut do not have a GI score because they do not contain carbohydrates. Fish is very high in protein and, luckily enough, protein has no effect on blood sugar levels. In addition, high protein foods are linked to increasing satiety. This means you will feel fuller and satisfied by a meal and, therefore, less likely to consume another meal in a short time frame. This helps with not only blood sugar levels, but calorie intake as well.
In addition to its high protein content, fish is also high in healthy fats. They are a good source of omega 3 fats, which have been linked to numerous health benefits.
