Hello everybody, welcome to my channel, I am Dr. Ahmed Ergen and I'm an ecranologist at diabetes educator and the metabolism expert. In today's episode, we will be covering the top best hunting inflammatory foods for diabetes. Let's dive right into it. This is John. A 45-year-old middle-aged man, he works Monday till Friday, sitting at an office desk without much physical activity throughout the day. The only time he moves is when he goes to get lunch. As John struts into his favorite Korean fried chicken restaurant, his face lights up with tremendous joy. He gobbles down a dozen honey chicken wings and his favorites soft drink, then goes outside for a smoking break to unwind. This is daily routine. Now John still possesses some awareness about his own health and goes for yearly medical checkups for a blood test. This year though, he has greeted with some shocking news. His doctor breaks the news with a solemn face. It's diabetic. John's heart is immediately filled with regret, as he flashes back to his daily dose of fried chicken wings and soda. He knows that his diet played an important part in this outcome. John decides to turn over and leave and incorporate some healthier options into his diet. He doesn't know where to start though. These foods wouldn't be beneficial for those who are diabetic, pre-eabed diabetic, or even those who haven't made a new year's resolution to start eating healthier. Did you know that one underlying cause for top two diabetes is in fact inflammation? How is diabetes related to inflammation? Well due to unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle, excess fats built up and increased the level of inflammation. Ultimately, this alters the insulin's action. Your inflamed cells become more and more resistant to insulin and this is how diabetes progresses. Because of that, anti-inflammatory foods help. Without further ado, let's first start with the first food in our list. Go nuts with nuts because they're healthy. We're talking about the plain nuts, nut, those coated with sugar and honey. These not only help improve your heart health, but they're also consuming nuts as super important in this link to low-fasting blood sugar levels and improve the insulin resistance. They provide energy without spucking your blood sugar levels and the best are wool nuts. The rest are provided quite a bit of benefit as well. Second on our list is broccoli. Some of us step into adulthood unrelenting and never outgrow that dislike about that broccoli. But before you cross this off your list, hear me out. Broccoli is rich in fiber and pack important nutrients and antioxidants that lower the insulin resistance and protect against cellular damage and even prevent eye disease. It's powerful anti-inflammatory effect. Thanks to it Sol Farfhand content. Next up, we have garlic. A common household ingredient but with hidden abilities. Sounds like a little far-fetched, but researchers discovered something intriguing. When consumed, long-side medications. Participants were found to have slightly lower blood glucose due to a compound called Allison. So there's an anti-inflammatory substance found in garlic. The besides wording of vampires, garlic also has antibacterial and antiviral features. But just don't go around using garlic to prevent COVID, all right? The next item is chip peas.

They're extremely low in glycemic index, which means that they will be barely increasing your blood sugar levels, even after consuming quite a bit. But wait, they're also packed with antioxidants and they support your digestive system and lower your cholesterol levels. What more can you ask for, right? Another anti-inflammatory food is squash. They're dins, they're filling, and they're relatively low in calories. So they have a low glycemic index as well. They're super rich in antioxidants, and they're a good substitute for sweet potatoes because they contain less sugar. Though more research is needed to truly confirm their benefits, they make a great addition to pretty much any meal. Next on the list, Greek yogurt. It seems yogurt is linked to every health benefit possible. Well, kind of. That includes the abedies. The yogurt is so rich in probiotics and the bacteria, the good bacteria for you, and it's actually been beneficial. They overall lower your blood sugar levels, but just pick a plain yogurt over the flavor at once because the flavor at once contain a lot of sugar. Well, the plain yogurt is boring and unapetizing, but you can become creative with that. But I hear you. So you can add some blueberries to your yogurt or some other fruit that you will enjoy. The blueberries is the next item because the strawberries, blueberries, they are all very helpful with reducing the insulin resistance. They can help you manage your blood sugars and, you know, and the cravings too. So you can add that to your yogurt, like I said, and add some crunch to it and some spice and cinnamon.

Next on the list is omega-3-rich foods. Remember, not all the feds are bad. Omega-3 is healthy, acid that's found in fish like macarole, trouts, sardines, and salmon. Flexiates and walnuts are also very rich in omega-3. See, omega-3 helps with use the risk of heart attacks and control the cholesterol and can prevent diseases related to nerves. Not the anxiety, but the neuropathy for sure. The most importantly omega-3 has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Last but not least is spinach. You heard me talking about this before. Spinach made the Popeye strong. But what's more, it's labeled as another superfood by the American diabetes association. Well, you like them or not. Spinach really is really that good. Yeah, it is good. It is non-star-chee, which means it's barely increasing your blood sugar, and you can consume it in large quantities and you'll still be okay.
