Food as Medicine: 7 Best Foods For Blood Sugar

Keeping blood sugar levels steady is less about one “superfood” and more about choosing foods that digest slowly, contain fiber, include protein or healthy fat, and avoid large spikes from refined carbohydrates.

Here are some of the best foods to focus on, why they help, and some recipes to try!

1. Non-Starchy Vegetables. Choose dark leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, peppers, asparagus, and mushrooms. These can (and should!) fill half your plate.

Why they help:

• High in fiber

• Low in rapidly absorbed carbohydrates

• Slow digestion and reduce glucose spikes

• Support gut health and metabolic balance

---

2. Legumes. They are one of the most blood-sugar-friendly carbohydrate sources. Choose lentils, chickpeas, black beans, and white beans.

Why they help:

• Rich in fiber and plant protein

• Naturally low glycemic index

• Help improve insulin sensitivity

• Promote fullness and steady energy
