For years, it’s been a hot topic of debate in dietary forums. Is fruit in your diet a healthy treat or a sabotaging cheat? Turns-out a few fruits are better than others.
Grapes, apples, and blueberries are considered to be among the best diabetes risk lowering fruits to indulge. People who ate fruit at least 3 times a week had a 2% lower risk of developing T2D compared with those who ate less fruit.
Those who ate 3 servings a week of blueberries had more than a 25% lower risk, while grapes were associated with an 11% reduced risk and apples with a 5% lower risk.
Oh yeah, one more thing. Don’t obey your thirst. Drinking fruit juice, on the other hand, slightly raised a person’s risk of developing T2D
Grapes and berries hit high on lowering T2D risk because they’re packed with antioxidants. Apples are delicious and they’re high in fiber. It makes sense that a fruit like cantaloupe may have increased the risk of T2D because it’s not a good source of antioxidants or fiber.
