7 Best VEGETABLES for DIABETES and the 5 WORST VEGETABLES for DIABETICS

Did you know that not all vegetables are good  for diabetics? There are some that you should pay extra attention to and in this video I'm going  to tell you the seven best vegetables and also the five worst for diabetics I made this rating  based on three factors the first the weight 100 G so everyone's going to get the same portion in  the last video I also did it per portion and many people said it has to be per unit because it makes  it easier but there's no way to do it per unit how am I supposed to compare a PE to a pumpkin there's  no way so they're all the same weight 100 G the second factor I took into consideration was the  glycemic load how much sugar how much carbohydrate is in each 100 gam serving it's pretty easy  although the name glycemic load sounds strange but the concept is pretty simple to understand  it's the amount of sugar carbohydrate that is in each food many diabetics aren't amiliar with  this concept because everyone only talks about the glycemic index which is how much a certain food  will increase your blood sugar that's what the glycemic index is but the glycemic load is just as  important if not more important than the glycemic index so in this video I'm going to consider the  glycemic load and number three which I also took into account in our ranking is the amount of  fiber in each 100 G serving got it and which ones are the best starting with our top seven list  the number one is eggplant every 100 G of eggplant contains 6 G of carbohydrates and 3 G of fiber so  it's a great choice of vegetable for diabetics as it won't raise your blood sugar additionally there  are scientific studies showing that eggplant May improve blood fats can improve your lipid profile  this is another plus point because many diabetics also need to watch their cholesterol so eggplant  is a great vegetable in that case what about eggplant juice you guys always ask here in the  comments does it work for diabetes there's no scientific evidence there's no big study that  actually proves that eggplant juice works for diabetes so here eat the eggplant don't drink  juice or take pills okay number two carrot carrots are carotenoids and have several beneficial  functions in our body not only for vision most people associate eating carrots with improving  Vision but carrots contain sever other minerals vitamins and even Aid in intestinal health and  carrots are included in our classification here because every 100 G contains 6 G of carbohydrates  from sugars and 2. 9 G of fiber so it's another great vegetable for Health number three and this  one I really like is also on the list of the best foods in the world broccoli broccoli besides being  a source of magnesium vitamin A vitamin C and vitamin K it also has calcium iron so broccoli can  be helpful in various situations you just have to be careful not to cook it for more than 20 minutes  because some studies show that after 20 minutes you can lose some of its benefits many people ask  oh but doesn't broccoli harm the thyroid no it's a myth broccoli doesn't harm the thyroid if you  have a problem like hyperthyroidism you can eat it without any worry and if you don't broccoli is  not going to cause or induce any thyroid disease this myth was created did because of a study done  on rats in which the rats only ate cruciferous broccoli and cauliflower and these rats developed  Goa a condition where the thyroid enlarges and also experienced hormonal problems hormonal  disturbances in the thyroid but this does not occur in humans there's no scientific study that  shows that broccoli is bad for the thyroid so you can be assured if you like broccoli know that it  will provide health benefits and it won't cause thyroid problems for every 100 G of broccoli you  get 7 G of carbohydrates and 2.

7 G of fiber it's important to clarify that what I'm talking about  every 100 G can have six seven or eight this is an average I calculated based on some studies so  for example one person said broccoli had 5. 5 G the other mentioned it had 6. 5 G per 100 I'm putting  six here so we can create an average and everyone can understand the video rather than juggling with  200 values here wouldn't that be too confusing number four cauliflower since I mentioned  cruciferous now that you know you can consume them and they're not harmful to the thyroid  cauliflower is also on our list because every 100 GRS have 5 G of carbohydrates and 2.

5 g of fiber  so it won't spike your blood sugar significantly it is beneficial for blood sugar control number  five what's the fifth best vegetable for diabetes before we continue may I ask are you enjoying this  video if so could you give it a thumbs up because the system understands the video is important and  helps share this information with more people so I'm going to set a goal here since you guys want  me to set a goal 7,000 likes is the goal for the video number five cucumber cucumber per 100 G  has 2 G of carbohydrate only 2 G and 1. 1 of fiber so you see that cucumber will not significantly  increase your blood sugar in addition to having several benefits so with that it makes our list  number six coyote coyote per 100 G has 4 G of carbohydrate and 2 G of fiber as well as various  vitamins such as a b c and it contains iron and phosphorus so coyote is an excellent vegetable for  those who are controlling their blood sugar levels I want you to pay attention to these numbers  that I'm mentioning so you can compare them with the worst ones even to understand the video so  you're left wondering why he rated one is better and another as worse so pay attention the coyote  for every 100 G has 4 G of carbohydrates so it's great for those who are watching their blood sugar  levels number seven is the radish radish per 100 gram has 3 G of carbohydrates and 1.
