4. Apples
When it comes to your blood sugar levels, there is some truth to the saying that an apple a day will help to keep the doctor away. Eating apples provide the body with numerous nutritional benefits. This includes helping to keep your blood sugar levels in check. Apples are very high in fiber, which helps to keep you feeling much fuller for longer periods of time. In addition, they are low in calories.
Apples also contain a high amount of antioxidants with the Red Delicious and Granny Smith varieties providing the highest amounts. Try to eat apples whole as the skin has many nutritional benefits as well. You can add some cinnamon to some apple slices and bake them in the oven or put them in the microwave for a nutritional snack, just be sure that you are not adding any sugar to them or it will defeat the purpose of eating them.
