Hope all is well today! I want to briefly touch upon the topic of fruit. I see many people who are suffering from diabetes avoiding fruit entirely. Usually it’s because they have come to believe that since fruit has sugar and all sugar must be avoided by those who are suffering, this automatically means that fruit is off limits.
But is this really the case?
The first thing you need to remember about fruit is the fact that fruit itself is packed with nutrients. It’s really like Mother Nature’s medicine. It contains vitamins, minerals, as well as antioxidants, all of which are going to help make you stronger than ever.
It’s a shame to miss out on all this!
Second, fruit also comes packed with fiber. And guess what is a diabetic’s best friend? That’s right – fiber.
When you eat fiber, it slows the release of glucose down in the blood stream, meaning you won’t get the blood glucose spike that you’d normally get from foods that contain carbohydrates – fruit sugar included.
So despite the fact that fruit does contain some sugar, the fiber helps to offset the blood glucose spiking effects that that sugar has.
And to add to this, it’s also important to note that about half the sugar found in fruit is fructose, which is a form of sugar that does not influence blood glucose levels at all. Instead, fructose simply moves into the liver where it is sent for processing.
So all in all, fruit really does not have the same degree of impact on blood glucose levels likes ay eating a chocolate bar would. Keep this in mind when you are saying no that banana or apple.
And, if you are really that concerned about the sugar content in fruit, just be aware of the lower sugar varieties.
Cranberries, raspberries, and kiwis are the fruits with the lowest overall sugar content, so focus on these over other higher sugar varieties.
If you want to have an effective drink (that has fruits, veggies and fiber) that helps with blood sugar and weight loss, while tasting awesome, try this right here.
