In this era where we are still fighting the pandemic, we are more concerned to have a strong immune system. This is especially true if you're living with diabetes, it can affect your immune response, making you more susceptible to infections. Several superfoods can help you build immunity in a sugar-free manner and hence help with active life with diabetes. The right food and physical activity are important parts of a healthy lifestyle when you have diabetes.
Being conscious to choose food and being diabetic to grow immunity is very important. Since everyone's nutrition and carb, needs can be different, you can fill your plate with any of the following diabetes-friendly and disease-fighting foods.
Citrus Fruits
People usually turn to vitamin C when they feel a cold coming in as it promotes the production of white blood cells, which fight off infections. Fruits like grapefruit, oranges, tangerines, lemons, and limes are powerhouse nutrients. However, it is better to take whole fruit with its fiber content than its juice.
Pumpkin
Pumpkin, also called kaddu, is often disregarded as a boring vegetable. Little do people know that it is an incredibly rich source of antioxidants and top immunity-boosting vitamins like vitamins A, C, and E. Among the lot, vitamin A is a highly anti-inflammatory vitamin as it plays a critical role in enhancing immune function.
Dabur - Chyawanprakash
Dabur Chyawanprakash gives you the goodness of Chyawanprash immunity-boosting herbs with no added sugar and helps strengthen immune functions. It is based on an ancient ayurvedic formulation of 41 ayurvedic herbs like Amla, Ashwagandha, Giloy, Mulethi, pippali, etc which help boost immunity. It is a sugar-free formulation and is clinically tested and found safe for diabetics.
Onions and Garlic
Onions and garlic not only make meals more flavourful, but they are also loaded with antioxidants that fight viruses and bacteria. Garlic also contains unique sulfuric compounds which support the body's natural detoxification systems.
Walnuts
While they are consumed for enhancing brain health and function, walnuts are equally beneficial for boosting immunity. The benefits of these walnuts are majorly attributed to the presence of healthy fats - Omega 3 fatty acids and Vitamin E. These nutrients are quite beneficial due to their anti-inflammatory properties, help maintain heart health, and healthy glycaemic control too!
