The frozen foods you should eat to manage blood sugar levels

  • Frozen foods, especially fruits and vegetables, can be a nutritious and cost-effective option for managing blood sugar levels, as they are often frozen at peak ripeness, retaining essential vitamins and minerals.
  • Shrimp is highlighted as an excellent lean protein source with a zero glycemic index, rich in vitamin B12 and omega-3 fats, making it beneficial for blood sugar control.
  • Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli contain sulforaphane and fiber, which aid in blood sugar management and are linked to reduced cardiovascular disease risk and potential anti-cancer properties.
  • Berries, including raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries, are good sources of fiber, antioxidants, and nutrients that help regulate blood sugar, with raspberries containing significantly less sugar.
