Raise a Glass To Fighting Diabetes
There's a surprising weapon in the fight against diabetes: beer. It's one of a number of things researchers have recently found can help cut diabetes risk and control blood glucose levels.
Other strategies include:
* Black tea has carbohydrates called polysaccharides that control blood glucose and also prevent cancer and arthritis by restricting free radicals.
* Short, intense exercise helps retrain your body to better make use of insulin.
* Chromium, a mineral found in broccoli, can help regulate glucose levels.
* Coffee lowers your risk of insulin resistance, as much as 16 percent per cup.
