【Three Vegetables for Lowering Blood Sugar】
1. Garlic
Garlic is pungent and warm in nature, and it can relieve stagnation and warm the spleen and stomach. Garlic contains alliin and alliinase, which combine to form allicin, a compound with antimicrobial effects. Garlic also contains alkaloids that lower blood sugar and enhance the function of insulin. Importantly, it does not affect normal blood sugar levels. Additionally, garlic promotes metabolism, relieves fatigue, stimulates the secretion of digestive enzymes, promotes epithelial cell proliferation, and accelerates wound healing.
2. Onion
Onions have a mild taste and a neutral nature. They have the ability to lower blood sugar levels. Onions are the only vegetable that contains prostaglandin A, which helps dilate blood vessels and prevent arteriosclerosis. This is beneficial for preventing complications of diabetes.
Onions also lower blood lipids, reduce blood viscosity, and improve atherosclerosis. Regular consumption of onions can prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications in diabetes.
3. Lettuce
Lettuce is rich in niacin, which acts as an insulin activator and is helpful in the prevention and treatment of diabetes. Lettuce can stimulate gastrointestinal motility and assist in the treatment of gastric atony and constipation caused by diabetes.
Lettuce contains potassium ions that are 27 times more than sodium ions, which can promote urination and lower blood pressure.
