3. Strawberry
Strawberries are delicious and, at the same time, an excellent option to help control hyperglycemia. They are low in calories and rich in fiber, antioxidants and vitamin C.
Benefits for Hyperglycemia Control
Strawberries have a low glycemic index, meaning they do not cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels. The fibers present in strawberries help slow down digestion, promoting a more gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream. Additionally, antioxidants, such as anthocyanins, present in strawberries have anti-inflammatory properties that can improve insulin sensitivity.

Essential Nutrients
In addition to vitamin C, strawberries are a good source of manganese, folate, and potassium. These nutrients are important for bone health, metabolic function, and blood pressure regulation.
Ideal Consumption
Strawberries are extremely versatile and can be eaten fresh, in fruit salads, smoothies or as part of healthy desserts. To maximize the benefits, avoid adding sugar or consuming strawberries in processed forms that may contain added sugars.
