Apples contain a lot of antioxidants, which can reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. These compounds inhibit oxidation and protect your cells from free radicals, which damage your cells. Apples are also an excellent source of fiber and water. The nutrients in apples are also very rich in vitamin C, which helps your body fight inflammation and supports a healthy immune system. The polyphenols found in apples are also beneficial to your body and can help your blood glucose levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several studies have also shown that apples can help prevent the development of type 2 diabetes. Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, and the University of California, Berkeley, found that apple consumption was associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Compared to people who don't have diabetes, apple consumption significantly reduced their risk of developing the disease. In addition, apples contain fiber and antioxidants, which can help stabilize blood glucose levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the National Institute of Medicine, apples contain about 4.5 grams of fiber, which helps lower blood sugar levels. Diabetics should aim to consume 25 grams of fiber per day, while people without diabetes should aim for 38 grams. This type of fiber is called soluble fiber. Soluble fiber has specific benefits for people with diabetes, as it slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. In addition to apples, soluble fiber is also found in other foods such as broccoli and flaxseed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
