Broccoli
The humble broccoli, despised by many children growing up, is one of the most nutritious vegetables around, with countless health benefits that do well for our body. Studies involving people with diabetes have found that the vegetable lowers insulin levels, preventing our body from becoming too used to the hormone, thus decreasing its ability to use it properly. Broccoli also protects cells from the harmful products of metabolism and contain the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which protect the eyes from damage.
