Strawberries
These beautiful, succulent and flavorful fruits are high in antioxidants known as anthocyanins which are responsible for their bright red color. These anthocyanins have the power to lower insulin levels, preventing the body from becoming resistant to the constant high levels. Because of this, cells are able to absorb sugar from the blood effectively, even with just small amounts of the hormone. Anthocyanins also protect the heart from disease, which can arise from high blood sugar levels. Strawberries are also rich in vitamin C, which provides additional anti-inflammatory benefits for a healthy heart.
