A doctor suggests incorporating certain holiday food staples like roast potatoes and turkey into your meals to manage blood sugar levels. Cold roast potatoes enhance their resistant starch content, which aids digestion and prevents rapid blood sugar spikes. Lean protein like turkey also helps regulate blood sugar by slowing down carbohydrate digestion.
If you're wondering about the best way to use up your Christmas leftovers, their benefits might surprise you. One doctor claims that certain yuletide food can positively impact blood sugar levels.
Roast potatoes Usually, tatties don't get much praise for supporting stable blood sugar, but according to Dr Patel, cold leftover roasties may be an exception, reports Gloucestershire Live. Moreover, resistant starch is linked with better insulin sensitivity, which is vital for blood sugar regulation.
Protein is beneficial as it slows down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar. Adding protein to your meals can enhance satiety and reduce the glycaemic impact of your food. Cranberries Cranberries, too, are a smart choice for those monitoring their blood sugar, especially when used in sauces that are made with natural sweeteners and kept low in sugar.
