To balance blood sugar levels, doctors advise starting your day with a proper breakfast.
Normalization of blood sugar levels helps reduce the risk of developing dangerous pathologies, such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Such normalization can be achieved through adequate physical activity and a well-structured diet throughout the day.
In particular, doctors recommend organizing your breakfast correctly, including lean protein, healthy fats and complex carbohydrates (fiber), Rossiyskaya Gazeta reported, citing data from the Greek portal Pronews.gr. Its medical experts named foods that are ideal for breakfast to normalize sugar levels.
Avocado. Its consumption gives the body those very healthy fats and fiber that are so necessary during the first meal. Thanks to these components, the feeling of satiety lasts longer – a person does not strive to “snack”, and his sugar level does not fluctuate from these additional snacks.
“The fats contained in avocados maintain the feeling of satiety longer, thereby reducing the desire to snack again,” the experts explained.
Oatmeal (whole grain).Oats contain beta-glucan fiber, which slows down the digestion process, which also prolongs the feeling of satiety. You can add berries, vegetables and fruits with a low glycemic index to oatmeal – this additionally provides the body with nutrients, prolonging satiety even more.
Cocoa. To normalize sugar levels, it should be consumed strictly unsweetened.
“Sugar-free cocoa powder has been proven to have a positive effect on blood glucose levels. The product contains flavonoids that can improve insulin sensitivity,” the experts noted.
