Notes

Highlights:
  • Mung beans are high in fibre and protein, and they include antioxidants that may help insulin act more efficiently and reduce blood sugar levels
  • Besan is helpful for diabetics because it is high in complex carbs and has a low glycemic index. It's also high in fiber, which is beneficial to diabetics. Magnesium, which is abundant in besan, increases insulin responsiveness by decreasing insulin resistance
  • Flax seeds are high in fibre, omega-3 fatty acids, and other plant chemicals that may help with blood sugar control, insulin sensitivity, and heart disease risk factors.
  • Spinach is high in fibre, a non-starchy vegetable with few calories, and a good source of lutein, folate, iron, and calcium, all of which make it beneficial to everyone.
  • In addition to balancing blood glucose homeostasis, fenugreek leaves also decrease insulin resistance in cells. Its high soluble fibre content delays digestion and glucose absorption, resulting in a slower rate of digestion
