Berries help regulate blood-sugar

You may not think of naturally sweet fruit as a blood-sugar regulator, but the research is impressive.  Berries, including bilberries, black currants, cranberries, blueberries and strawberries, have been shown to reduce blood sugar and insulin levels after meals.  Scientists believe that a key antioxidant in strawberries blocks the activity of an enzyme responsible for breaking starch into simple sugar-that means fewer simple sugars are released into the blood stream, thus lowering the blood sugar and the corresponding insulin response.  This is also key for weight control because insulin moves excess sugar into fat cells. 

Add berries to whole grain cereals, whip into smoothies or enjoy them as a dessert or snack.

Live well. Love life.
