Diets focused on whole plant foods—rich in fiber and low in fat—such as vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, and modest amounts of nuts and seeds, have been found to be three times more effective in controlling blood sugar levels than the American Diabetes Association’s recommended diet. These nutrient-dense foods can not only help those with prediabetes reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes but also offer a range of additional health benefits.
Studies show that adopting a whole plant forward diet can lead to substantial weight loss, improved cholesterol levels, better blood pressure control, and a lower risk of heart disease. By choosing a diet centered on these wholesome, plant-based foods, you can take a powerful step towards better health and a more balanced life.
