4. Fenugreek:
It's the Indian secret for taming
diabetes. But you
don't have to be diabetic to benefit from using it. Studies show it can help
lower blood glucose levels by around 40%. That's because these seeds are full
of dietary fiber. It helps your gut absorb—and use—glucose. This happens by
slowing down your digestion. Finding whole fenugreek seeds can be hard. But if
you can get them, try adding them to a salad. You can find them ground at
gourmet grocers and online.
5. Oregano:
This herb adds a totally new dimension of flavor to any food you put it on.
Natural healers use it to treat arthritis, asthma, and ulcers. It may even help
clear psoriasis. And it's also a potent blood sugar buster.
Along with rosemary and marjoram,
researchers found this herb helps block insulin response. The result is easier
digestion and higher energy levels. Like the others, fresh is best. You
should be able to find it in your grocer's produce aisle. If not, try growing
your own.
Cutting back on sugar can be
difficult. But it's one of the easiest ways to reduce inflammation—and your
odds of facing cancer or heart disease. Using these spices at each meal doesn't
just help keep blood sugar in check... It can also help you beat any leftover
desires for sweets by adding new flavor to your favorite healthy dishes.
