3. Fatty Fish: The Power of Omega-3
Fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, trout and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties and help improve insulin sensitivity.
These fish are also excellent sources of high-quality protein, essential for maintaining muscle and overall health.

Omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish have been widely studied for their benefits on cardiovascular health and glucose control. They help reduce systemic inflammation, a factor that may contribute to insulin resistance.
Additionally, these fatty acids promote a healthier lipid profile, reducing triglyceride levels and increasing HDL (good) cholesterol.

Incorporating fatty fish into your diet can be done in a number of delicious ways. They can be grilled, roasted or prepared in dishes such as sushi and sashimi.
Adding a serving of fatty fish to your meals a few times a week can provide significant glycemic and overall health benefits.
In addition, regular consumption of fatty fish can help improve mental health, as omega-3s are important for brain function and can help combat depression and anxiety, common conditions in people with diabetes.
Therefore, enjoying fatty fish not only helps control glucose, but also contributes to a better quality of life.
