1. Apples
Remember the old saying An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Apples normalize cholesterol levels while reducing the risk of stroke, cancer, and type 2 diabetes. But perhaps most importantly for you, a recent study showed that regular apple eaters had a significantly reduced risk of diabetes compared to those who didn’t eat apples. The determining factor was the high amount of antioxidant anthocyanins found in apples.
Another study showed that apple eaters had a decreased likelihood of having metabolic syndrome when compared to those who didn’t eat apples. Metabolic syndrome (a precursor to a diagnosis of diabetes) was defined as having three or more of the associated symptoms related to cardiovascular risk, including elevated blood pressure, increased waist size, and elevated C-reactive protein levels.
2. Berries
These tiny powerhouses of nutrition protect the body against the effects of free radicals which can damage cell membranes and DNA, resulting in diabetes and the other chronic diseases associated with the aging process. Along with antioxidants such as Vitamins C and E, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and bilberries contain anthocyanins and phenolics that also have tremendous antioxidant properties. The oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) of berries is among the highest found in the fruit and vegetable kingdom.
