In the search for a balanced diet, diabetics often face the challenge of enjoying the natural sweetness of fruits and keeping their blood sugar levels in check. Nutritionist Anjali Mukherjee shared some valuable information on Instagram, giving a practical guide to incorporating fruits into a diabetes-friendly diet. Her video is a treasure trove of information that can help people with diabetes enjoy their favourite fruits without worrying about spiking blood sugar levels.
In a recent post on Instagram, Anjali Mukherjee shared valuable information about controlling diabetes through fruit consumption. Her latest video explains which fruits are safe for diabetics and how they can be included in a balanced diet without increasing blood sugar.
“Fruits are safe for diabetics,” Anjali Mukherjee says at the beginning of the video. Her message is clear – not only can diabetics enjoy a variety of fruits, but they can do so without compromising their health.
According to Anjali Mukherjee, there are many fruits that can be safely included in the diet of diabetics. She says, “You can definitely enjoy pomegranate. Apart from this, you can eat an apple a day, you can eat pears, you can eat guava, you can eat cherries, plums, peaches, you can eat berries, oranges, sweet limes.”
Each fruit brings its own unique benefits, and with careful portion control, they can be enjoyed every day. Mukherjee's advice is both practical and encouraging, offering a balanced approach to fruit intake. Emphasising on moderation, Anjali Mukherjee says, “Remember, you can eat one of these fruits every day, not all. If it's berries, you can eat 10 berries. If it's cherries, 10 to 15 cherries.”
Anjali Mukherjee says the goal should be to have a serving size that is about the size of an apple per day. “Depending on the size of the fruit, this should be the equivalent of one apple, i.e. one fruit a day. You can enjoy these fruits without sending your blood sugar on a rollercoaster ride,” she says.
