4. Broccoli
Those who are concerned about diabetes should cut down on carbs. This means including fewer starchy vegetables in the diet. Choosing low-starch and high-nutrient vegetables such as broccoli may help stall the onset of diabetes and manage the symptoms of current diabetics.
A study by the American Diabetes Association found that a diet that included more servings of vegetables such as broccoli and fewer starchy vegetables lowered blood sugar levels. In addition, the antioxidants and phytochemicals in broccoli can preserve cellular health and strengthen the body. In addition, broccoli is low in calories and can prevent obesity that can lead to diabetes.
