(HealthDay News) — People with diabetes should look for foods that pack a powerful nutritional punch yet have a low glycemic index, experts say.
The American Diabetes Association suggests these optimal “superfoods”:
- Any kind of bean, from kidney beans to pinto beans.
- Vegetables that are dark green and leafy, including kale, collard greens and spinach.
- Fiber-rich citrus fruits, including lemons, grapefruit and oranges.
- Berries, sweet potatoes or tomatoes.
- Salmon and other fish that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
- Nuts, whole grain foods and fat-free yogurt and milk.
