I just got off the phone with your family members They wanted me to remind you that you have to eat your vegetables You may have heard that Diabetic should avoid vegetables. You may have also heard that the moon is made of cheese Don't believe everything you hear The truth is no vegetables completely off the table Some of them are better than others. The best way to use are low in glycemic index high in fiber and Not smarter than wrench dressing Let's talk about glycemic index. It basically measures how quickly your body absorbs glucose from a particular food Like your golf score or electric bill lower number is better Seriously, just turn the lights off and you leave the house. How hard is that? What I'm trying to say is that while you should stay away from Starchy vegetables such as potatoes or corn. There are plenty of vegetables with a low glycemic index Here's my countdown of the top 10 vegetables Number 10 brussels sprouts glycemic index of 32 Unfortunately brussels sprouts get a bad rep because too many people think that they're just gross fun sized cabbages I've got news for you. You're supposed to roast them Of course, they're gonna taste bad if they eat them wrong The only reason I don't have them higher on the list is because they can give you gas Which your family may not appreciate Number nine green beans glycemic index of 32 Green beans only have about four grams of net carbs per cup Which makes it a great snack alternative to potato chips and pretzels Historians say that People have been eating these for over 7 000 years. Wow, they must have been chewing really slowly Number eight spinach glycemic index of 15 No, it won't make your biceps well like footballs But it will make your bones stronger and support your immune system The best thing about spinach is how easy it is to use in your diet. You can blend it into smoothies Sauté it or use it in salads. Just be sure To check your teeth before you go on a date. Number seven bell pepper Glycemic index of 15 like green beans. This is a great snacking alternative Unlike green beans. It's really annoying to cut up. Seriously I feel like I'm carving a miniature pumpkin every time I'm cutting bell pepper And why are the yellow and red ones are more expensive than the green ones? Number six zucchini glycemic index of 15. This veggie is fun to eat and even more fun to say zucchini Zucchini, what was I saying? Oh, right try zucchini. It's great in a stir fry Number five eggplant glycemic index of 15. This is one of my favorite vegetables The spider's inexplicable name like what what egg in the world is purple and you better believe That if something catches out of an egg that size, I'm running as fast as I freaking can in the other direction Number four broccoli glycemic index of four Research indicates that gently steaming your broccoli maximizes the health benefits while you're at it Your button down can probably use a gentle steaming as well I mean, you can also eat the broccoli raw if you're a total badass who needs to punish your taste buds Number three cauliflower glycemic index of 10 Or as or as I like to call it albino broccoli Cauliflower is incredibly versatile. If you're not keen to put it on your vegetable platter You can mash it and use as a substitute for rice You can even make pizza with a gluten free cauliflower crust And if you do you will be able to hear the faint sound of thousand italian chefs weeping number two mushrooms Yes, mushroom is technically a fungus not a vegetable. This is my list so deal with it Mushrooms are great in stir fries and soups or you can just marinate them and toss them on the grill. Number one Asparagus glycemic index of 15 a study published in a British journal of nutrition Indicate that eating asparagus can help control type 2 diabetes turns out asparagus can actually increase the insulin production in the body That's why it earned the number one spot on my list Despite having a higher glycemic index in this more uncomfortable phallic shape Than the vegetables before vegetables are important part on Everybody's diet and it should be for every diabetic.
