Hello guys! How are you? That diabetes is an extremely dangerous disease you already know!
I've explained in several videos about the evils of poorly controlled diabetes; that glycated hemoglobin above 7 can already be harmful to your body and that you can forget your mother's name, your father's name, your home address, but if you are diabetic you have to know the value of your glycated hemoglobin ! Glycated hemoglobin estimates how much your average blood glucose has been in the last 90 days. Therefore, it is important for you to know if it is well controlled, because it will define whether your vessels, your kidneys and especially your heart are getting sick or not.
Aglycated hemoglobin values above 9 are terrible; lead to leg amputation, loss of sensation in arms and legs, greatly increase the risk of heart attack and stroke! So how do you manage your diabetes? How to keep your glycated hemoglobin below 7?
What foods do you, who are diabetics, have to eat all the time, that are nutritious and that will help you control your glucose, do you know? If you don't know, today I'm going to show you 10 essential foods and that if you who are diabetic start eating routinely, your glycated hemoglobin will improve a lot, that is, your diabetes will improve a lot. So, come with me until the end of the video and.
. . Run the vignette!
Dr Roberto Yano, Cardiologist. Hello, friends of the heart! How are you?
I am Doctor Roberto Yano, Cardiologist and Pacemaker Specialist. Today I'm going to show you 10 essential foods that you who are diabetic should consume in your daily life to keep your glucose always well controlled. And for you who are not diabetic, these foods are also very important because they will prevent you from becoming diabetic one day!
But first, I'm going to ask you to share the video, ok? Mainly for your father, your diabetic mother, or a diabetic that you like a lot; show him this video! A change in diet can save that person's life!
Without further ado, let's go to the 10 foods? Food number 1, there's no excuse for you not to eat it. .
. It's the egg. The egg is a complete food, it is rich in minerals, proteins; and, unlike what many imagine, consuming eggs in moderation will not increase your cholesterol, ok?
So stay calm! In addition, the egg has a low amount of glucose, but is rich in minerals and antioxidant agents. So, don't forget to introduce the egg in your diet, ok?
Food number 2: oats. Oatmeal is a carbohydrate, but why does it help control diabetes? Oats are extremely high in fiber; the fibers form as if it were a mesh that prevent the rapid absorption of glucose!
And oatmeal can be used in any meal, whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can use oatmeal easily and in any food, just have a little creativity! Once again I repeat: because it is a source of carbohydrate, it has to be eaten in moderation, ok!
No exaggeration! But let's go! Food number 3: the avocado.
I always talk about the avocado! In addition to being a delicious fruit, it is extremely nutritious! Your fat is one of the healthiest fats out there!
Especially for our hearts! Because it is a food rich in fat, it makes the absorption of glucose occur more gradually, slower, avoiding insulin spikes, and better controlling your glucose! And, it is worth saying, the avocado is wonderful, it is delicious!
You can use it in juice, salad, even as a seasoning you can use it! It works for everything! So make avocado one of your favorite fruits!
Fourth food: fish. Fish like tuna, sardines and salmon are rich in anti-inflammatory foods, rich in good fats, fats that protect the heart! So, you see that not all fat is bad?
On the contrary, there are many types of fats that are essential and fundamental for our heart! For you to consume correctly, you need to know what they are! Look how many good fat options I gave you just in this video!
Just for that I already deserve your like, don't you? So, leave your like! Don't forget, leave a like!
Well, the fifth food is chia. Chia has a combination of several elements that will help the diabetic. First, it has a great power of satiety.
A little you consume makes you satisfied! Another thing is that it is rich in fiber, which helps to make glucose be absorbed more slowly; it also has excellent fat, which I have already explained above. It will help to reduce the speed of absorption of sugar, carbohydrates!
It is important to talk about this issue of satiety too, because the diabetic is exactly that patient who is the most hungry! Imagine that, the diabetic's blood is full of sugar, but his cells that needed to have more sugar, are low on sugar; this makes the body understand that your body is always lacking sugar and the diabetic is excessively hungry. So chia will help with satiety!
So, always have chia at home, ok? Sixth food: legumes. Legumes like beans, peas and lentils are excellent sources of fiber and will help with glycemic control.
In addition, legumes in general are rich in vitamins, minerals and proteins that are essential for our health and for maintaining good control of our blood glucose; besides being delicious, of course! Come on! Seventh food: red fruits.
Most berries like strawberries, blueberries and raspberries are low carb! In addition, these fruits have excellent antioxidant power and are rich in fiber! Knowing that the diabetic lives a little inflamed, anti-inflammatory foods will be essential for the good control of our glucose!
In fact, I talk more about anti-inflammatory foods in this video that I'll leave on the card. If you haven't seen it yet, I'm sure it will be worth it! Eighth food; this food is not lacking at home: it is extra virgin olive oil!
Extra virgin olive oil also has excellent anti-inflammatory power! In addition to being one of the best fats for the heart because it reduces LDL cholesterol, which is bad cholesterol, increases HDL cholesterol, which is good cholesterol and, as it is a fat, it also slows down the absorption of sugar by our intestines! But, like any fat, it has to be eaten in moderation, because all fat, no matter how healthy, does make you fat!
So consume, but in moderation! Come on! Ninth food.

Leaves like broccoli, kale, spinach and arugula are rich in fiber, minerals and antioxidant elements! For sure, you diabetic and non-diabetic, you have to include these leaves in your day to day routine! These foods are essential for your heart health!
As I always say, everything that comes straight from nature is much healthier and much more nutritious than stuffing yourself with processed foods, full of trans fats, full of empty calories. Feeding from nature will definitely protect your heart! And, tenth and final food to lower your blood sugar, what is it?
It's the oilseeds! They shouldn't be missing from mine and your diet! So, consume walnuts, chestnuts, macadamia nuts, pistachios and hazelnuts.
In addition to being one of the main sources of good fats, oilseeds are also anti-inflammatory foods, reduce oxidative stress, help reduce insulin resistance and have high satiety power! They are more expensive, but the little you consume, a little bit a day, will definitely help your diabetes!
