10 Foods That Lower Blood Sugar
Food #4: Chia Seeds
Chia seeds have become quite popular over the past few years. Numerous health blogs and Instagram accounts have included recipes with chia seeds. Chia seeds are high in fiber, omega 3s, calcium, potassium, and antioxidants. This food is a powerhouse. In fact, chia seeds contain twice the amount of potassium than a banana and three times the iron found in spinach.
Chia seeds have a very low GI score of 1. Due to their high nutrient profile, and seemingly low GI score, they are diabetic friendly. Add to your tea, Greek yogurt, or avocado and toast. However, be sure to stick to moderate amounts as too much can be calorific.
