To get ridof from BP and Sugar

--

1.    Brown Rice: It is unpolished and has its germ and bran layers intact.It is rich in B -Complex vitamins that regulate energy production in the body. The magnesium content in the rice regulates insulin secretion and uptake by cells. 

 2.     Basil: Basil leaves contain antioxidants that relieve oxidative stress;  it’s this stress that compounds problems in diabetics. Basil helps lower triglycerides and the bad cholesterol.    

 3.  Green Tea: This tea is unfermented and hence has high polyphenol content, which help in a controlled release of blood sugars. 

 4.    Fish Oil: Fish oils are known for their omega-3-fatty acid content, which has the ability to correct the functioning of pancreas thus helping in insulin production and uptake. Vitamin D present in fish oils also helps in diabetes by improving immunity. Fish oils(particularly tuna, sardines & mackerel)help in better control of glucose & lipid metabolism. 

 5.    Jambul: A glucoside present in the seeds of this Indian plum prevents conversion of starch to sugar, making Jambul(also called java plum, indian blackberry) a special fruit for diabetics. 

 6.    Drumstick leaves: The fibre content in the leaves increases satiety and slows the breakdown of food, thereby preventing the conversion of starch to sugar. 

 7.    Cinnamon: The bark-spice directly helps lower blood sugar, according to study published by American Diabetes Association, including 1g cinnamon in the diet for a month lowers the blood sugar levels. 

 8.    Olive Oil: The type of fat used in a recipe is important because of the risk of heart disease diabetics face. Olive oil is rich in Monosaturated fatty acids, which are heart-friendly. These fatty acids do not allow the bad cholesterol(LDL) to clog the heart valves, thus reducing the risk of heart disease which is in turn a major complication of diabetes.
