Changing lifestyle takes a toll on the health of many people. Stress, tension, unhealthy eating, uneven sleep cycles, the list is endless. According to a study conducted by researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health a few years back, the cases of diabetes and hypertension in India are increasing day by day. While diabetes can be seen mostly in middle-aged and elderly populations, high blood pressure has become common in young adults. This raises an alarm for everyone to switch to healthy living habits and take care of themselves. Let us look at some of the foods that are known to control both blood sugar and blood pressure naturally.
Java Plum
Jamun is a summer fruit which keeps the hemoglobin level in the blood better. It is loaded with potassium which is great for people with high blood pressure or a history of stroke or other heart diseases. Not only this, Jamun also increases the activity of insulin in the body, which keeps the blood sugar level under control.
Beetroot
The dark red colored vegetable is not only tasty but also rich in many nutrients. It contains folate which plays an important role in protecting blood vessels from getting damaged. It also contains a blood pressure lowering chemical called nitric oxide which helps in reducing high blood pressure. In addition, it takes a long time to convert the natural sugar present in beetroot to glucose which makes it an ideal choice for people with diabetes.
Garlic
It is known that garlic helps manage overall blood sugar along with reducing fasting sugar. Garlic is known to be effective for people with type 2 diabetes. Doctors emphasize the consumption of garlic for people with high blood pressure. Garlic contains a compound called allicin which helps in reducing high blood pressure.
Pumpkin Seeds
The seeds are known to help you with mid-day cravings. Regardless of eating high-calorie snacks, one can choose pumpkin seeds. They contain unsaturated fats and high iron content. Not only this, the high fiber present in pumpkin seeds reduces the risk of diabetes. Minerals such as magnesium and zinc are proven to reduce high blood pressure.
