Helps Control Blood Sugar

Livestrong

Are you a big fan of strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries? Whatever your favorite berry is, it's certain to be loaded with antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and nutrients. They're also packed full of flavor, which makes them the perfect choice to satisfy a sweet tooth. Berries are also an excellent source of potassium, vitamins C and K, and manganese. Not only that, but berries also have the benefit of potentially regulating insulin and blood sugar levels. What do we know? Based on test-tube and human studies alike, the compounds found in berries can help protect the body from high glucose levels, and improve both insulin sensitivity and how the body responds to high-carbohydrate meals. Most importantly, it seems these effects also occur for those who do not have diabetes, meaning it is possible to help control blood sugar before it becomes a problem. The bottom line is clear: individuals who consume berries on a regular basis are likely to improve their blood sugar as well as their body's insulin when eating high-carb meals.
